CWS include financial assistance like monthly financial support, food ration, supermarket vouchers, and reimbursement for medical expenses to lower income families and to people who suffer temporary financially setbacks.


The Food Relief Programme, started in 1959 to provide supplementary food, such as rice, cooking oil etc. to the poor, sick destitute, unemployed needy and their families continues to this day.

Today, the programme reaches out to more than 50 institutions including Conferences of St. Vincent de Paul, Homes for the Aged, Children's Homes, Crisis Centres and Societies.

CWS now gives supermarket vounchers every quarter to the beneficiaries of the programme. Cash grants, also part of the programme, are given out half-yearly. At headquarters, a small stock of dry food items are maintained and given to the needy when CWS is approached for direct assistance.


The Scholarship Aid Programme assists students in Primary and Secondary Schools from needy families to continue their primary and secondary school education. With this aid, students can purchase textbooks, stationery, art materials and uniforms. CWS give monthly cash aid for school fees, transport, food allowance and payment of examination fees. CWS also assist tertiary students who are evaluated on a case by case basis.
