A total of $400,000 out of a $2.4 million sum donated by the estate of the late Ms Diana Koh, a veteran in the accounting and advisory field, will be used to support a new programme supporting initiatives that champion social transformation in vulnerable communities at Singapore Management University.
The Diana Koh Social Transformation Programme, administered by SMU’s Lien Centre for Social Innovation, will fund up to twelve local internships or six overseas internships per academic year for five years. These internships have to be with relevant international and local organisations working with vulnerable communities.
The programme will also fund projects focusing on creating knowledge and solutions related to social issues undertaken by SMU students or faculty in areas such as food security, climate change, access to healthcare and education.
