Project Feedback
CPF continues to foster its long-standing partnership with the Child Development Matching Fund ( CDMF ). Every Christmas, CPF orchestrates its networks of choir teams to perform at the Carol Singing Festivals with donations to target match the personal savings of those youths coming from a deprived background. [… Besides,] CPF takes active participation to support and guide the development of the Child Development Initiative Alliance ( CDIA ) which devised the READY Program ( Resources for Employment and Academics for Development of Youths ) to ensure rich opportunities are opened to the youths. Under the CDIA READY Program, CPF offers valuable work experience opportunities for these youths to empower them to become job ready and college ready, in the long term, to help them shake off poverty.

CPF serves our community with unparalleled passion and conviction and truly commands our highest respect.
