Welcome!
At PERTAPIS we engage in self-help projects for the betterment of the community's welfare in Singapore.
As an approved charitable organization with the status of an Institution of Public Character (IPC), we aim to reach out and help the community in line with our vision: "The Best we can be in the Service to the Community"
The PERTAPIS Children’s Home is a gazetted home and place of Safety under the Children and Young Persons Act. The cases referred to us are those by the Juvenile Court, Ministry of Community Development Youth and Sports (MCYS) and Family Service Centre (FSC). We aim to provide a loving and wholesome home for the emotional, social, physical, educational and spiritual development of the children who have been separated from their families so as to enable them to grow to their fullest potential.
Our Programmes
At PERTAPIS Children’s Home, we provide residential programmes with emphasis to children’s education, development of moral values, recreational and family support guidelines.
