A short-term fund was set up in early 2020 to facilitate NGOs to address immediate service needs arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Three rounds of support targeting emerging needs at different phases of the pandemic have been provided.

In the third round (March 2022 – August 2023), twenty projects were supported to overcome shortage of manpower while addressing the urgent needs in the community.

In the second round (January 2021 – March 2022), ten NGOs strengthen the integration of technology in their existing services to help clients to overcome challenges in the new normal.

In the first round (April 2020 – December 2020), eight NGOs focused on providing resources and necessary support for local communities.
