The PGR Circle
Our strategy is to create initiatives based on the simple idea that we can proactively achieve our mission through two ways:
outreach programmes and providing outlets for expression.
Each then feeds into the other to create sustainable progress, and are underpinned by our core values.
As time goes on, each initiative may also generate outputs that feed other initiatives and the lines between each initiative,
or between outreach and outlet, may blur.
Our Initiatives
PGR’s organisational chart is circular.
At the heart of the PGR team are the co-founders, Ling and Iskandar. They are guided by PGR values, and radiate their passion, vision and ideas outwards to the various parts of the team.
Their strategies are formulated with a circle of directors, in consultation with board members.
This is cascaded outwards to full-time staff and volunteers as well as project team volunteers, who then take further action to bring the vision to fruition.
