SowCare

About the Ministry

SowCare Ltd was incepted on 12 June 2019 as a community service arm of The Bible Society of Singapore that aims to serve, empower and sow holistic care for the underprivileged communities in Singapore. Through partnership with various voluntary welfare organisations (VWOs), we seek to reach out to the migrant workers, migrant domestic workers, homeless, the elderly, the children and youth in the poor and needy communities.

Testimonials

“I want to thank my mentors who have helped me so much in creating a business plan. Before, I only had an idea, but didn’t know how to put them together to make it happen. [With this plan], I want to establish a business in Bangladesh with my family. I am grateful to the mentors and to AGWO for organising the course.”
    -    Marouf, a Bangladeshi guest worker

“Thank you SowCare for your kindness in allowing me to stay at Bible House with such good facilities and the great care and concern shown by the SowCare staff. What a good experience!”

“Much thanks for the kind generosity and care during my stay. During my difficult times, this show of kindness is much appreciated. No words are able to show my appreciation.”
