As 2024 comes to an end, it’s a perfect time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together at TheOneHourProject (TOHP).
This year has been transformative, filled with new partnerships, new volunteer opportunities, and big events that have truly made a difference. Together, we’ve worked hard to change lives, one hour at a time.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate our achievements!
New Partnerships
This year, we established new partnerships with these organisations:
BAGUS Together
We’re proud to partner with BAGUS Together, which supports grassroots organisations in Singapore by encouraging collaboration among community members. This initiative provides resources, training, and support to help these groups launch and grow their projects.
Ocean Purpose Project
We’re also glad to work with the Ocean Purpose Project, which focuses on environmental protection and raising awareness about marine health. This project truly inspires individuals to take action for cleaner oceans.
EB Impact
We have also partnered with EB Impact, a charity dedicated to promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Singapore and across Asia. EB Impact focuses on creating youth and education programs for underserved communities by collaborating with NGOs, businesses, and public institutions.
Climate Hack
Climate Hack was one of our new partners, dedicated to finding innovative solutions to climate change. Through workshops, mentorship, and collaborative projects, Climate Hack encouraged participants to think creatively and adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.
AlterCOP
Last November 11 to 22, we partnered with the AlterCOP event, a remote alternative to COP29 in Azerbaijan. This innovative platform brought together over 250 speakers and trainers and attracted more than 2,100 attendees, allowing participants to engage in real-time climate discussions and engaging workshops.
All in all, these new partnerships show our commitment to empowering communities and promoting environmental conservation—and we look forward to building more collaborations like these in the coming year!
New Volunteer Opportunities
Aside from partnerships, we celebrated a major milestone by introducing new volunteer roles and gathering about 100 passionate volunteers. Here’s a look at the organisations our volunteers have supported:
BINHI English Literacy Foundation
We promoted six volunteer opportunities—Copywriter, Canva Artist, Photographer, Videographer, Video Editor, and Onsite Tester—to support BINHI’s mission of improving reading skills for young learners in the Philippines.
The Safe Space Foundation (TSSF)
We filled two remote roles—Social Media Specialist and Social Media Content Creator—to enhance TSSF’s online presence and ensure essential mental health resources reach those in need.
Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS)
We promoted roles such as Morning Walk Befriender and Training Officer Assistance, allowing volunteers to engage with and support persons with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) while helping them develop important skills.
AlterCOP
During the sustainability summit held from November 11 to 22 in Singapore, we gathered volunteers for the marketing and outreach team. Their role was to help spread the word about climate action and engage the community in meaningful discussions.
Climate Hack
We supported three roles—Storytelling Consultant, Digital Marketing Consultant, and Pitch Coach—to help Climate Hack develop innovative solutions for climate challenges.
Overall, these new volunteer opportunities have empowered individuals to make a positive impact in communities and support important causes across different sectors.
Big Events
This year, TOHP participated in several important events in Singapore:
City of Good Summit
Digital Marketing Changemaker Program
Digital for Good
These events have truly strengthened our mission and fostered meaningful connections within our community.
A Bright Future for TOHP
With all that said, 2024 has been a year of growth for TOHP, and we are incredibly thankful to our partners and volunteers—your support has made a huge difference in driving our mission forward. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
Looking ahead, we’re excited to build on our successes by creating even more meaningful volunteer opportunities and strengthening our partnerships. Together with our partner NGOs, we will continue to tackle important social issues around Asia.
