Yayasan MENDAKI (Council for the Development of Singapore Malay/Muslim Community) is a pioneer Self-Help Group formed in 1982 dedicated to empower the community through excellence in education, in the context of a multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore. MENDAKI works extensively with partners who share and support its vision and mission. MENDAKI’s programmes are mostly preventive and developmental, to provide early assistance to the students so that they become school-ready and productive citizens in the future.
At recent Mendaki’s 35th anniversary fund-raising dinner on 14 November 2017, first female President of the Republic of Singapore, President Halimah Yacob presented both Professor Aziz Merchant and Dr Reshma Merchant with a ‘Partner of Mendaki’ award for their support to the Malay/Muslim community in Singapore and for their volunteer and philanthropic work.
