AWWA is a social service agency supporting persons with additional needs, families and seniors.

It all started in 1970 with a group of women volunteers who had been donating and distributing food rations in Little India to help out the needy families and decided to set up an association and registered themselves.

After a stroke, even simple tasks like reaching for a cup, opening a cupboard or getting dressed can become difficult.

At AWWA's Rehab and Day Care Centre, Senior Occupational Therapist Jia Xin uses the H-Man rehabilitation robot to help clients rebuild arm strength and movement through personalised, game-based exercises. Every session is designed to support meaningful goals, helping clients regain confidence and work towards greater independence in their daily lives.

Recovery doesn't happen overnight, but every movement is a step forward.

👉 Read our latest story to discover how Jia Xin combines therapy and technology to support stroke recovery.

🎬 By the time you've finished watching a 2-hour movie, Zona would have done all this:

✅ Helped a child build independence during snack time
✅ Supported participation in play and learning
✅ Collaborated with teachers and fellow therapists
✅ Worked with colleagues to support a child's developmental goals
✅ Mentored the next generation of therapists

This World Occupational Therapy (OT) Day, we're shining a spotlight on Zona Yong, Senior Occupational Therapist, whose work spans across AWWA's Early Intervention services and Kindle Garden @ Enabling Village.

From turning everyday moments into opportunities for learning, to working alongside educators, caregivers and fellow professionals, occupational therapists combine clinical expertise, creativity and collaboration to help children participate more confidently in the activities that matter most.

💜 Happy World OT Day to all Occupational Therapists!

When we design with people in mind, we can open new doors to inclusion.

In collaboration with DancingMind, AWWA showcased its VR for Classroom Readiness project at the Digital for Life Festival 2026. The solution uses virtual reality (VR) to help children prepare for their transition to mainstream primary or special education schools with national curriculum. Through immersive school-based scenarios, children can safely practise everyday routines, build familiarity with new environments, and develop the confidence and independence needed for their next stage of learning.

At AWWA, we believe innovation is most meaningful when it helps people achieve outcomes that matter. We are proud to be part of a wider movement that harnesses technology for good, creating more inclusive and accessible communities for all. 💜

Join us in building a more inclusive society. Whether through giving, volunteering, or partnering with us, every contribution makes a difference. Learn more about how you can get involved at our website.

Our students with additional needs from AWWA School @ Napiri had a smashing time at the Singapore Tennis Open, thanks to our partners at BNP Paribas.

From soaking in the electric atmosphere to watching world-class tennis in action, it was an experience filled with excitement and new memories. The highlight? One of our students had the honour of stepping onto centre court for the official coin toss before the match, a moment that's sure to be remembered long after match point. 🌟

We're incredibly grateful to partners like BNP Paribas for creating opportunities for our students to step beyond the classroom, discover new interests, and participate more fully in the community.

💙 Want to help create more moments like these? Join us as a volunteer and support our students as they build confidence, explore new experiences, and connect with the world around them.

🔥 East side, best side? We think so.

Our two services in the East recently joined forces as students with autism from AWWA School @ Bedok visited residents with additional needs at AWWA Home in Pasir Ris for an afternoon of connection, laughter and friendship.

Though many were meeting for the first time, it didn't take long for conversations to flow. Students proudly presented handmade thank you cards and exchanged friendship bracelets with residents, simple yet meaningful gestures that brought plenty of smiles all around.

What made the visit especially heartwarming was seeing genuine bonds form across generations. More than an intergenerational activity, it was inclusion in action. There were no assumptions, no judgments, and no barriers. Just people enjoying each other's company, accepting one another for who they are, and finding joy in shared moments.

Because when acceptance becomes the norm, everyone belongs. 💙

Create more opportunities for our residents to connect and thrive by supporting our fundraising campaign for AWWA Home.

👀 Next time you're at AMK Hub, here's a challenge: spot the artwork created by seniors from AWWA Active Ageing Centre (AAC) in the new Community Art Mural!

Together with other members of the Ang Mo Kio community including our partners from Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities THK AAC @ AMK 257, our seniors contributed their creativity to this colourful installation, leaving their mark on a shared space that celebrates community spirit.

It's one of the many ways seniors can stay active, build meaningful connections and continue contributing to the community. After all, an inclusive society is one where everyone, regardless of age, has opportunities to participate, belong and thrive.
