Our History
PERTAPIS was founded in 1969 by a group of young aspiring Muslims who believed in the importance of moral and religious education in building strong and resilient individuals.
Rooted in the kampung spirit of mutual care and support, PERTAPIS began as a self-help organisation dedicated to uplifting those in need. As Singapore progressed and communities moved into housing estates, that spirit of helping one another continued through welfare initiatives, community programmes and volunteer efforts.
​
From these humble beginnings, PERTAPIS has grown into an Institution of a Public Character (IPC), serving vulnerable individuals and families through welfare homes and community support programmes.
​
Today, while our services have expanded, our mission remains the same — to empower lives, strengthen families and build a caring community for all.
