Partnering Local Retailers to bring blessing to the poor

Local Retailers with Big Hearts!

We wish thank two big fashion retailers for blessing the poor with 3 container load of jeans and tops! That amounts to approximately 40,000 pieces of clothing.

Our friends in retail, could have simply sold the goods but they CHOSE to bless people who have close to nothing.

It warms my heart knowing that these gifts generate more that just warmth of clothing for the poor. I have witnessed the bonding of friends with a common mission, the joy that comes from giving, new friendships made and the endless growth of opportunities and resources that is coming through to help more of our under priviledged brothers and sisters.

The goods have been sent either hand-carried by individuals or sent by sponsored containers to so many countries and so many places.

I am indeed awed at the numbers of God's selfless angels who have spent time and great effort to bring these gift of love to strangers across lands.

These 40,000 pieces of clothing will touch the hearts of those who will receive it, shirt by shirt, jean by jean in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philipines, Malaysia and even some to the really poor in Singapore.

Special thanks to JRS, the Canossians, FCAP (pilots) , 5Cs (cabin crew), St Vincent de Paul( St Anthony's Church), Pastor Robert Liu, World Federation of Catholic Medical Association, Kek Beng & his men at SH Cogent Logistics, Low Siew Kiang (Firefly Mission), Tara Melwani, Julia Wong (GAP Int'l )..and all friends who participated.

God Bless and Thank You everyone for your hardwork and contribution for this humantarian effort.

Yours in Christ,
mill

Our Message

We have a simple vision of creating a tidal wave of kindness from a ripple of effort given by busy individuals.

We are a network of friends standing in solidarity to provide support and assistance to the poor.

A little effort by each person can change the life of someone in need positively for a lifetime.

Our mission at Project Kyrie is to support humanitarian relief efforts of NGOs and individuals to make a small difference in the lives of others by facilitating funds and resources to organisations and persons of most need.

Who.We.Are

Project Kyrie

Believes that everyone can make a difference in the lives of others so long as we do whatever little we can. It may just be a quick phone call or an introduction amidst busy schedules.

We believe that there are many kind-hearted individuals who would like to help those less privileged but are too busy with their work and their families to be able to locate where the poor and needy are.

Our mission is to connect the givers to the beneficiaries. We hunt down worthy causes and projects to help the poor and the needy rise out of their difficult situations by enhancing their lives with resources and offering them opportunities to help themselves.

Leverage
We have a network of about 500 friends from all stations in life and of all race and religion. We present the needs of the poor to our network of like-minded friends. Our friends will then communicate these needs to their like-minded friends. We leverage on the strength of our personal and work contacts to help others in need.

In this way, our effort is multiplied exponentially to achieve good for those who have little with very little effort and time from us.

If everyone helps a little, we can achieve much for the poor and the powerless.

Apart from humanitarian aid, we strive to create opportunities for hardworking individuals to break from their cycle of poverty.

Our core objective is to teach people how to fish, through education and acquiring of new skills. We believe that poverty need not be the price, paid by a child. If he or she has the potential to become a contributing and productive member of society, we aim to give this child or individual, the opportunities and tools required to succeed.

When they do succeed, the whole family is helped. They will be pulled out of the vicious cycle of poverty in which they might have been in for generations.

Our Approach
Simple ABC approach to Project Kyrie's type of assistance philosophy :

A : Assisting with Humanitarian aid
B : Building a good foundation through education and skills training
C : Creating opportunities through jobs and small business schemes

Why Project Kyrie?
Project Kyrie literally means the Lord’s Project. We believe fearlessly that if it is His Will for a project to be done, it will be done.

ALL GLORY with no exceptions belong only to GOD our Father! \O/\O/\O/
