Brief History

There would be no House of Hope without the Helping Hand, its mother organization. The late Robert Yeo founded the Helping Hand in 1987 as a Christian half-way house for the rehabilitation and after-care of ex-addicts. As of 2006, it has opened its doors to ex-criminal offenders as well. The Helping Hand is a registered Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO) in Singapore. The center is located at 819 Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore 534678. It is presently headed by Mr. Chia Shih Sheung as CEO and Mr. Richard Khalil as Executive Director.
