A Singapore charity night just raised S$100,000 (about $74,000) for schoolkids' pocket money

For a child from a low-income family, school pocket money is not small change — it's lunch, bus fare, and dignity. At its annual Charity Night in Singapore, the PFPFA raised S$100,000 (about $74,000) for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, themed 'Beyond Giving, Towards Change.' The fund has quietly helped more than 230,000 children and young people since 2000, disbursing over S$110 million (about $81 million) — one school day at a time.
