Social Health Growth

The Founder of Social Health Growth (SHG), Alson Boo spent time in extensive research on Singapore’s independent and volunteer social and economic support systems. In this review process, he had approached Kandang Kerbau Hospital, National Council of Social Services (NCSS) the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) and other charity groups in Singapore. He then stumbled upon a staggering number of 8000 adoptions in Singapore based on his own findings at that time. This means that there was a significant number of unwed and/or single mother in our community who were left mostly alone to fight their daily battles. Leveraging off his volunteer experience at the Lions Club some years earlier, he then decided that it was timely to establish a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the unwed, single mothers and their children. Social Health Growth (SHG) was born in 16 February 2012.
