Marching ahead with stronger support

Great news! PM.Haze has received new funding support from National Youth Council (NYC) Singapore for our 2017 outreach activities.
 
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has awarded us a grant to research on “The environmental,  social and ethical challenges of the annual haze in Southeast Asia”.
 
We have also received continued funding support from Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) and Young NTUC. We are very grateful for support  from these institutions and looking forward to a bright year ahead!
