KIDSforKIDS Initiative for young entrepreneurs at Sustainable Kids Market in Singapore
A standout feature of the Sustainable Kids Market is the KIDSforKIDS initiative. This section of the market will showcase around 25 booths managed by children, with assistance from their parents, selling sustainable goods. This initiative empowers young participants to take an active role in promoting sustainability while developing entrepreneurial skills.
Supporting a worthy cause
All profits from the Sustainable Kids Market will be directed to aid children living in Singapore’s public rental flats. The funds will support educational, enrichment, and mentorship programs led by Young Hearts of the Singapore Red Cross, targeting intergenerational poverty. This meaningful cause ensures that every purchase at the market contributes to improving the lives of underprivileged children.
A celebratory opening for Sustainable Kids Market in Singapore
The market’s opening will be graced by Mr. Alvin Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry, as the Guest-of-Honour. His presence underscores the significance of the event and the collective effort to promote social inclusion and sustainability.
Voices of leadership and hope
Mrs. Eunice Yeo, Founder of Peace of Art SG, expressed her gratitude for the growing support and partnership in their mission to democratize philanthropy. “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 converge to promote conscious decision-making and uplift the lives of underprivileged children,” she said.
Ms Chan Yien Mei, General Manager of Marina Square, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of the event in showcasing the strength of tripartite partnerships. “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,” she remarked. “It is inspiring to witness our community rallying together to further the cause for social inclusion and sustainability.”
