About Charity Fiesta

Initiated in 1992, Charity Fiesta is the annual flagship outreach event organized by the NUSSU Volunteer Action Committee (NVAC).

Its aims and agenda had over the years come to encompass the following
1) Raising awareness of its selected beneficiaries
2) Promoting volunteerism amongst undergraduates and youths
3) Raising funds for our participating beneficiaries.

Charity Fiesta was moved into public venues for the first time in 2003, with an added emphasis of spreading the message of volunteerism amongst the local youth. Over the years since then, this event has been held at various venues such as Suntec City, Jurong East, Junction 8 and Esplanade Park, reaching out to enrich the lives of both volunteers and beneficiaries.

Since its inception, Charity Fiesta has raised more than $400,000 for more than 40 Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) in Singapore, as well as garnered the prestigious Commonwealth Youth Award 2007/2008 for its excellence in community work and the promotion of the spirit of volunteerism among undergraduates.
