Geylang East Home For The Aged

Singapore

Funding from ICAP Charity Day will support Project Heartware, which focuses on healing the emotional wounds of sheltered home residents through sustained counselling and group therapy. By helping seniors release feelings of abandonment and loss, the programme restores confidence, builds resilience, and prepares them to re-engage meaningfully in daily life, transforming survival into living with hope and joy.

Charity Overview

Geylang East Home for the Aged (GEHA) is a non-profit organisation established in 1978, dedicated to caring for community seniors and seniors without family or financial support. Fully managed by volunteers, GEHA operates a sheltered home that provides accommodation, meals, and daily support for vulnerable elderly people who can still live semi-independently. Beyond meeting basic needs, GEHA strives to nurture dignity, connection, and purpose through meaningful activities and emotional care. Today, GEHA is reimagining sheltered living, transforming the home from an institutional shelter into a warm, assisted-living–style community where seniors can age in place with belonging, joy, and hope.
