All profits generated from the Sustainable Kids Market will be channelled directly to aid children living in Singapore’s public rental flats. The funds will enhance educational, enrichment, and mentorship programs spearheaded by Young Hearts of the Singapore Red Cross to combat intergenerational poverty.

Mr. Alvin Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry, will grace the opening of the market as the Guest-of-Honour.

“We’re fortunate to continue to see immense interest and growth in our movement to democratise philanthropy, with new partners and supporters finding ways to work closely with us and support our vision. By partnering with Marina Square, we have grown our community even more – by involving young changemakers who would be an integral part of this family-friendly market. At the market, their creativity and commitment converges to promote conscious decision-making and uplifting the lives of underprivileged children,” said Mrs. Eunice Yeo, Founder of Peace of Art SG.

“We are delighted to co-organise this first-of-its-kind event at Marina Square, enabling young innovators to exhibit their creative talents while championing for environmental and social causes. It is heartening that the event has received the support of educational institutions and government agencies, showcasing the strength of tripartite partnerships in effecting positive social change,” commented Ms. Chan Yien Mei, General Manager of Marina Square.
