Source: MINISTRY OF SOCIAL AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT

Data Last Updated: 17/07/2025

Update Frequency: Annual

Footnotes: Data refer to households that have received assistance under the respective ComCare Schemes within the respective calendar year. Household comprises all immediate family members (i.e., parents, spouse, siblings, and children (biological, adopted as indicated in adoption certificate, or step)) residing at the same address. Not all household members are necessarily beneficiaries. For instance, a household may contain estranged but financially self-reliant members, who are not contributing financially to the needs of the family. These members may not be considered beneficairies when ComCare assistance is disbursed.
