What Persatuan Pemudi Islam Singapura does

Persatuan Pemudi Islam Singapura (PPIS) is a Singapore-registered non-profit organization founded in 1952 by 22 women to champion the rights and welfare of Muslim women and their children. Operating with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status, PPIS delivers social services through three core pillars: Family Services (Family Service Centres East and West, FAM (PPIS) for divorce support and family counselling, Vista Sakinah for remarriages and stepfamilies, INSPIRASI for young marriage preparation, and Oasis as the third national fostering agency); Children Services (7oaks Student Care at Bedok and Jurong); and a Residential Facility (Rise Above Halfway House, Singapore's first secular halfway house for women offenders). The organization also runs RED for Women, comprising RED Space (a hybrid one-stop hub for legal, career and wellness services), the Women LeadHers leadership development programme, and a complimentary Legal Consultation service staffed by volunteer lawyers from the Law Society of Singapore.

The underlying operating platform is a hybrid social service delivery model combining 10 physical centres located across Singapore (Eunos, Bedok, Ubi, Woodlands, Bukit Batok, Jurong, Chai Chee) with virtual consultations and online registration. PPIS serves 40,000 Muslim women, children and families annually, delivered through 142 training programmes and supported by partnerships with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), Singapore Prison Service, Syariah Court, Registry of Muslim Marriages, Maybank Singapore, Korn Ferry, SportCares, the National Institute of Education, and the Law Society of Singapore.

PPIS generates revenue primarily through donations and charitable contributions from individuals and corporations, supplemented by government grants (including full MSF funding for the Vista Sakinah Remarriage Preparation Programme) and modest programme fees. Student Care fees are $299.75 per month inclusive of GST with subsidies of $59 to $290 available for households earning below $4,500. Most other services (Family Service Centres, FAM (PPIS), Legal Consultation, INSPIRASI, Rise Above) are provided free of charge. Donation receipts benefit from IPC tax deductibility up to 2.5 times the donation value. PPIS operates exclusively within Singapore and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired since September 2024 by President Assoc Prof Razwana Begum Abdul Rahim, with Aidaroyani Adam serving as CEO since May 2024.
