2022
“Thank you Cornerstone Community Services. You truly make the difference for us, and we are extremely grateful! It is greatly appreciated and I can’t thank your organisation enough. The monthly allowance is very useful as my children can use it for their school expenses and it has lightened my financial burden. Thank you so much.”

- Mdm Tutiyana, parent of beneficiary under Cornerstone Development Initiatives School Allowance
“I am very thankful to Cornerstone Community Services (CCS) and the staff who are very nice to me and my family. My daughter, Shakira has learnt a lot from her mentor under the Youth Mentoring programme. Thanks to CCS, Shakira is also able to visit Universal Studios for the very first time as part of the mentoring outing organised by them. I cannot afford financially to bring her there, so I am really grateful to CCS for making this happen for her.”
- Mdm Noryati, parent of beneficiary under Youth Mentoring programme
