Welcome to the Transnational Family Care Centre, a dedicated initiative by Pro Bono SG and the South Central Community Family Service Centre. Located within our Delta Road premises, this centre is Singapore's first of its kind, established to provide focused support and resources for transnational families navigating the complexities of maintaining connections and care across borders.
The Transnational Family Care Centre (TFCC) is dedicated to serving a significant portion of the population who may not qualify for national legal aid schemes. The centre addresses a range of critical issues faced by transnational families, including divorce, maintenance, child-related matters, adoption, guardianship, mental capacity, family violence, and immigration. To achieve its mission, the TFCC aims to raise legal awareness within transnational family and community partners, empowering individuals and families through outreach and awareness programs. Furthermore, it focuses on building an impactful socio-legal service ecosystem by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals from different disciplines to enhance their capacity and capabilities. The TFCC also prioritizes conducting research and providing recommendations to improve access to justice for transnational individuals and the broader social sector.
By focusing on these key objectives, the TFCC offers crucial support to transnational families who often encounter unique and complex challenges due to their cross-border nature. These families, which may include foreign spouses ineligible for national legal aid, often face social displacement and feel like strangers in Singapore, navigating different legal and social support systems. The TFCC strives to bridge these gaps by providing holistic and multidisciplinary solutions in partnership with community organizations. Ultimately, the centre aims to offer hope, address specific needs and concerns, and provide better and more tailored support to transnational families in Singapore through its collaborative approach and focus on socio-legal care.
If you are a transnational family facing legal or social challenges and require support, please do not hesitate to reach out.
