About

In 2023, Singapore Silent Heroes took a momentous leap by shining a spotlight on the next generation through the Student Award. 2023’s theme underscores the enduring legacy of compassion, as nineteen young minds from nine different schools showcased that kindness knows no age limits.

From aiding the elderly to supporting local gardeners and advocating for vulnerable animals, these students epitomized the spirit of selflessness. The SSH Student Award seeks not only to applaud their efforts but to empower and inspire, conveying a powerful message that even the smallest acts of kindness can create transformative ripples.
