Executive, Community Partnership

**About KampungKakis**

KampungKakis is a ground-up initiative that started in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the issue of loneliness amongst seniors in Singapore became more apparent than ever. 5 years on, we have grown into a Singapore registered charity dedicated to tackling social isolation among seniors in Singapore, one connection and one programme at a time. At the core of KampungKakis is a neighbourhood buddy system that matches seniors to their neighbours, based on proximity, spoken languages, and assistance types.

By 2030, Singapore would be considered a super-aged nation, with 1 in 4 Singaporeans aged 65 and above, and an estimated 122,000 seniors will be staying alone. It is against this backdrop that we confront the systemic problem of our seniors having an unmet need for longer-term and deeper relationships. Such relationships are difficult to develop with ad-hoc volunteers or staff of formal organisations, whom the seniors view as “Service Providers”. Especially for seniors who prefer to stay alone or not to be involved in community activities, more can be done to support their social well-being. Our mission is to reignite the kampung spirit of looking out for one another by providing a safe & inclusive platform for enduring friendships between neighbour volunteers and isolated seniors to develop.

You will be reporting to our Executive Director, and supported by our case manager, a team of dedicated and passionate super-volunteers, and a committed Board who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves for our cause.
