Antica Foundation officially launched on 5 April 2025 during the SiGlap 60 Carnival, an event attended by Dr Maliki Osman, Second Minister for Education and Foreign Affairs. The foundation is committed to empowering seniors and ex-offenders in Singapore through innovative programmes and strategic partnerships.
The foundation’s initiatives include Project GUARDIAN, which installs fall detection sensors in the homes of low-income seniors at high risk of falls, ensuring their safety and well-being. Another key programme, Project SECOND WINGS, supports ex-offenders with vocational training, career development, and mentoring to aid their reintegration into society. Additionally, Antica Foundation promotes intergenerational dialogue through workshops and community activities, fostering empathy and strengthening community bonds.
Executive Director Dixon Lim emphasised the foundation’s mission to create a supportive environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can learn, grow, and rebuild their lives. “Our goal is to drive positive social change by integrating technology, community partnerships, and holistic resources,” Lim stated.
The foundation collaborates with partners such as Yellow Ribbon Singapore, Temasek Polytechnic, and the Silver Generation Office to enhance the quality of life for vulnerable communities. Chaired by Andre Tanoto, Antica Foundation aims to raise awareness of how different communities can be supported through its impactful initiatives.
As the foundation embarks on its mission, it seeks to bring more awareness to its causes and efforts, hoping to inspire further social responsibility and community empowerment across Singapore.
