CARE PROJECTS: MEANINGS OF HEALTH – SINGAPORE

Health meanings emerge from the lived experiences of the individual as he/she navigates through socio-structural constraints. These individual meanings of health become key information in revealing a localised, alternative understanding of health in the community. The main outcome of this research is to create avenues and develop solutions for more equitable health outcomes in such marginalised communities. Currently, CARE is reaching out to the invisible poor in Singapore to understand their lived experiences of food insecurity and the impact on their health.  The team organises a monthly food distribution with resources from the various NGOs that we collaborate with.
