Inspired by the IJ Sisters mission, the Infant Jesus Homes and Children’s Centres (IJHCC) serves and supports at-risk children and young persons from financially challenged and disadvantaged family backgrounds.
Through their Residential Care programme, IJHCC cares for those in need of protection. By providing relevant programmes and activities in a safe and caring environment, IJHCC aims to enable the young community to be inspired, gain confidence, and develop in character during the most critical phase in their lives.
IJHCC offers an Out-of-School-Hours programme at the IJ Galilee, IJ Agape, and IJ Village and organises activities such as cooking, pottery, gardening, drama, dance, and music to provide children with the opportunity for self-expression.
In addition, IJHCC continues to serve a few elderly ladies who have been with them for many years.

Every year, Caritas Singapore assesses the needs of its member organisations to fund programmes that serve our brothers and sisters in need. Our grant allocation takes into consideration funding gaps for underserved needs, the social mission organisation’s funding priorities, and the effectiveness and measurable impact of the charity’s programmes and services. All grant distribution decisions are announced in our annual report.
