Community Outreach

Giving back to our community — one act of love at a time.

Chairs Donated to Otana Inclusive Centre

As part of our ongoing outreach programmes, Gilt Counselling Consult donated executive chairs to Otana Inclusive Centre — a gesture born from a deep commitment to the wellbeing of every child, regardless of ability.

"You have provided executive chairs for our special children to sit on. God will surely make them executive individuals in their life's endeavours. This heartfelt gift is proof of your love for humanity and Otana Inclusive Centre. God bless you and your team at Gilt Counselling Consult."

We are honoured by the warm reception from the centre's leadership and remain committed to serving communities in need through compassionate action.
