History of Sunbeams Home

Yayasan Sunbeams Home is a non-governmental, self-supporting foundation which cares and nurtures for the displaced, abused and neglected children of single parent. It was founded in 1995 by Pastor Alvin Tan and his late wife Pastor Lucy, both teachers by profession. Their calling began when they decided to bring home a young child and care for him, because his parents were unable to do so. From this humble and selfless gesture, their vision emerged for a Home in which they would devote their lives to the welfare of children, some as young as babies only a few months old.

Sunbeams Home has since grown to 135 children, both boys and girls with ages ranging from two to 18 years old. Over the years, it has given guidance, shelter and a future to hundreds of children who have been sent to the Home, some by their own parents who have been unable to care for them, and others rescued from abusive homes.

Our Works

Our Stories

I remember when I was 6 years old, our world (my sister and I) came tumbling down. Firstly when my father left us and later when my mother told us she had to send us to a home as she could not work and look after us at the same time. It was the most frightening news for us. I promised my mom I would look after my sister and do all my housework and be a good girl but despite my plea, we ended up in Sunbeams Home. I remember that day so clearly. At the Home, a tall, handsome man named Pastor Alvin and a very gentle and kind lady Pastor Lucy assured me that they will be like our parents and the Home will be our family. Rebecca is currently working in an accounting firm and aspires to be a chartered accountant.

Before 2018, all I know is fighting and quarreling amongst my mother and father. I cannot understand the world God has put me in. My loving grand ma is always so torn apart watching them fight and having to look after us since my mom had to work after my father left us. Finally, we were sent to Sunbeams home. I was very frighten at first but now, I understand God didn’t forget us. Here, the teachers care for us, we learn about love, we learn there are many of children who are like us but we now have hope and know we are being loved.
