Heartware Network’s Tuition Programme had its humble beginnings since 2009, first initiated by student volunteers from Raffles Institution (Junior College). Its aim is to reach out to under-served primary school children whose parents are incarcerated and/or come from low-income families.

For children, whose parents are incarcerated or from low-income backgrounds, keeping up with their academics is an uphill battle. The motivation to learn wanes rapidly with the lack of positive role models in their lives. The Heartware Tuition Programme aims to place these children on equal footing with their peers through free weekly tuition, driven by youth volunteers from tertiary institutions.
