A Ground-up Initiative
What is #KampungKakis
A neighbourhood buddy system aimed at supporting the elderly and disadvantaged families, by connecting resident volunteers with their neighbours-in-need based on proximity, assistance type and spoken language.
Our buddy system
Who are we trying to help?
Who are we trying to help?
Our buddy system allows our KampungKakis to #stay(closeto)home while helping one another
It also ensures accountability and limits contact exposure of vulnerable individuals during a pandemic like COVD-19
More importantly, through our volunteers, our buddy system bridges the gap between marginalised groups and the rest of the community

What can I help with?
Who are we trying to help?
What can I help with?
Help can be as simple as -
lending a listening ear,
sharing information,
navigating available resources,
picking up groceries or meals, accompanying seniors to medical appointments,
or helping and inspiring financially-disadvantaged children to keep up with their school work.
No fixed time commitment or specific assistance required. Our volunteers help within their own time and capacity to give.
How is KampungKakis different from other mutual aid initiatives?
