The Foundation

As part of Ms Gertrude Guok’s last wishes, she appointed her nephew, Joshua Guok, as Trustee of her estate to set up this Foundation to honour her late parents, Rev (Canon) Guok Kuo Muo and Tan Loke Mui, with a vision to continue the footsteps of her father and his grandfather’s philanthropic and charitable works in both their memory.

The Guok Foundation is a privately-run charitable Christian foundation registered with and regulated by the Commissioner of Charities (“COC”) in Singapore.
