Practitioners’ Workshop: Child Safeguarding in Practice

3Pumpkins is a non-profit community arts and development organisation dedicated to strengthening human connections. Their work sits in the intersection of art, community, education and social work. 

They work to strengthen social support for vulnerable communities and empower individuals by fostering a sense of belonging, self-identity and self-actualisation.

Their flagship initiative, Tak Takut Kids Club (TTKC), is a child-centric community development project that provides a safe and supportive environment for children to connect, grow and thrive.

Established in 2019 and hailed as the “Good Gang in the Neighbourhood”, TTKC has offered a nurturing environment for over 500 children to connect, grow and thrive. Focusing on building socio-emotional confidence, fostering essential life skills and moulding future community leaders, TTKC is testament to the power of a community where children can confidently be themselves. “Tak Takut” translates to “not afraid”, embodying their vision for every child to grow into brave and confident individuals.
