We are a voluntary welfare, non-profit organisation working to promote family life as well as sexual and reproductive health awareness among Singaporeans. We conduct sexuality education workshops for agencies, schools, institutions and organisations, and the general public.
We also organise seminars and public forums on various issues affecting family life, concepts of sexuality, reproductive health and contraceptive education. In addition, we provide conselling to help people deal with sexuality-related problems and concerns. Other support activities include training courses and teaching programmes on human sexuality and counselling. Formerly known as the Family Planning Association of Singapore, the Singapore Planned Parenthood Association (SPPA) was formed in 1949. The Association was one of the founder members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) that was formed in 1952, an international body which supports programmes of member associations in the world. In the early years, the Association spearheaded for the wide acceptance of family planning. It was instrumental in helping to persuade the government to adopt an official population policy in 1966. With the government providing family planning, the Association began advocating family life education and sexuality education promoting programme initiatives and services in the key areas of public education, counselling and training. With such a change in focus and mission, a decision was taken to change the name of the Association to: "The Singapore Planned Parenthood Association".
