Schemes.sg allows aid workers to quickly find relevant assistance schemes. It provides a directory of social assistance schemes offered by govt agencies, self-help groups, VWOs, and more (the directory is kept comprehensive and updated by volunteers).
SchemesSG has an active and growing user base among aid workers in Singapore.
Project board is here.

Schemes Bank
Full repository of known aid schemes and help with helpful description.
Schemes Pal
AI/NLP based search engine that fetches as much as possible relevant and useful results for the inquiries of the social workers (SW) using the app. The search engine takes user's input from the search bar and conducts a fuzzy search of the schemes in the Bank using NLP, and returns schemes above confidence threshold. User can adjust the confidence threshold based on the scope they require
Schemes Case
A 'concierge service' where the Schemes.sg team selects recurrent SchemesPal submissions, and/or collect specific requests via the dedicated Schemes Case form to follow up for further research.
The team then identifies the schemes from the repository which may help, and can also conduct further research to find out what areas or gaps the Bank failed to cover.
After anonymising, the schemes for this profile are publish and the Bank is updated.

First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.
The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
