About Us

Wicare offers grief counselling, group therapy, befriending services, and programmes for widows and fatherless children. As well as extending a hand in the areas of financial and educational support to them.

We have supported over 1,200 widows and 1,700 fatherless children in our past 28 years of being in this social service landscape.

Wicare remains the only dedicated support organisation in Singapore specifically addressing the multifaceted needs of widows and their families that provides specialised, comprehensive structured interventions specifically designed for the complex journey of spousal loss.

“Widowhood leaves a mark that few people can see. Since that fateful day in 1985, life has never been the same.

There were many tears. Yet we were never alone. God held us close, and so did our friends. Along this broken road of loss and grief, sisters of the heart and soul walked beside us. We held each other’s hands, even in the days of sorrow and mourning, and together we found resilience and new hope.

We have watched Wicare grow steadily into the respected support group it is today. We are deeply grateful to our advisors, sponsors, volunteers and committee members, who have worked tirelessly over the years to keep Wicare going and growing.

We hope you will find things here that serve you well, and bring hope, healing, comfort and companionship on your own journey.”
