Salvation Army teams up with social start-up to shed light on plight of Singapore's poor

SINGAPORE (Sept 14): Fifteen-year-old Adam (not his real name) lives in a one-room rental flat with his mother, two other siblings, and a 3-year-old niece.

His mother, now only 38, works at a fast food chain to feed the family as the sole breadwinner. She is divorced from Adam’s father, who is incarcerated.

Coming from a broken and lower-income family, Adam is just one example of many youths-at-risk that are often “invisible” in Singapore – the setting of the Crazy Rich Asian movie.
