Background of OHF

OHF is a Singapore registered charity (#001521) with a history of 13 years. It has offices and operations in Singapore, Cambodia, Nepal and Thailand. The NGO also a member of the Singapore National Council of Social Service (NCSS). OHF's work in the various countries centered on five signature programmes – OHF Child (where we run residential children’s homes); OHF Skills (where we uplift the lives of the poor by equipping them with new skills); OHF Community (where we build affordable house, toilets and wells to meet the basic needs of poor beneficiaries); OHF Skills (where we employ appropriate technology to address a pressing humanitarian need) and OHF Volunteer (where we engage international volunteerism to partner OHF in delivering direct services to the poor beneficiaries).

The brand promise of OHF is to deliver our programmes in a high-benefit-to-cost ratio. It does this by being infrastructure & facilities owner-manager and programmes & projects owner-manager. As OHF has invested in building facilities in these countries, the message is clear – the non-profit organization is in these countries for the long term. All the staff in all the field offices are under the jurisdiction of the HQ office in Singapore.

The OHF story has been published in the Singapore Straits Times (13 July 2012), the Chinese paper Lianhe Zaobao (21 January 2013) and a feature documentary in Channelnewsasia (March 2013 and several re-telecasts).
