Warmest greetings to you and your family. Thank you very much for your support in 2025 as we continued our efforts to strengthen families and empower youths. As we take stock of the year gone by, we are deeply appreciative of the trust and confidence you have placed in our work.

Families globally are navigating the pressures of a fast-paced society, rising living costs, and increasing demands on time and relationships. Additionally, artificial intelligence has opened new and uncharted grounds. Closer to home, our counsellors recently reported a case where a “relationship” was formed with an AI chatbot, leading to the breakdown of their marriage.

In 2025, we continued our commitment to serve couples, parents, and youth through our marriage initiatives, bonding events, parenting workshops, and various youth programmes. To extend our reach beyond onsite programme coverage, we conducted a variety of virtual sessions, including the marriage workshop Journey to Us and a Facebook Live discussion on Raising Resilient Teens. We also expanded our impact among Malaysian families by introducing Jom Connect!, a parent–child bonding programme, while our Youth team developed new talks on cyberbullying and boundaries.

With much anticipation, we have entered the second year of our five-year plan to increase our impact 5X and reach 90,000 families by 2029. To achieve this, we have new programme offerings in the pipeline, including a No Apologies® Junior programme tailored for pre-teens, as well as digitised formats of our popular marriage and parenting programmes. To reach a wider audience, we are developing, equipping and empowering Partners to deliver programmes in their local communities.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your constant support and generosity that allows us to
help families thrive.

Whether it is through donating, volunteering, attending,
sharing or praying, your partnership truly makes a difference in every life we serve.

Programmes & Workshops

Journey to Us helps couples handle conflict differently—not by avoiding it, but by learning how to stay connected through it. 20 couples reflected and learned onsite in a private group setting, while 15 couples joined via Zoom from the privacy of their homes. Date Night is an evening dinner with intentional activities and meaningful conversations. 38 couples rekindled their spark, connected without distractions and renewed their vows.

Bonding Programmes

Our flagship parent-child bonding programmes — Dad & Son Adventure Camp, Mum & Daughter Connection, Dad & Daughter Date, and Mum & Son Connection are designed to encourage parents and children to be fully present with one another and feature interactive activities. We also introduced an exciting new mission-based programme called Parent–Teen Connection.

207 parent-child pairs created meaningful core memories, deepened their connection, and
improved communication.

No Apologies® Programme

No Apologies® empowered 6,659 youths with character-based skills to make wise choices, avoid risky behaviours and identify values to live by.

Marriage Talks

We delivered talks at various organisations and conducted online sessions on the healthy marriage model and keeping marriages strong, reaching 162 participants. We also hosted our first Date Night, bringing together 25 couples for an intimate evening of reconnection and meaningful conversation.

Parenting Workshops

Through our talks Knowing Gen Alpha, Digital Parenting, and an online parenting forum, our parenting initiatives reached 192 parents. We also launched the Chinese edition of Lee Wee Min’s book, Intentional Fathering, equipping more families with practical guidance for intentional parenting.

Behind every smile is a story of a relationship strengthened.

Our team of professionally trained counsellors provide counselling to an increasing number of individuals, couples and families with marital conflicts, parenting struggles, mental health concerns, and other family crises.

Counselling provides a safe space for us to talk and hear each other’s perspectives and always leaves me with a sense of peace during and after.

I am passionate about counselling because counselling is a space where I can bring love and hope where there is brokenness.
