Founded in 1918, the Singapore Chin Kang Huay Kuan not only served as a centre of support for fellow clansmen from the Fujian Province of China throughout the early 20th century, it later also played an active role in helping the school-going children of their clansman. The clan association founded the Chin Kang School in 1947 to help the children whose education was disrupted by the war. The Chin Kang Huay Kuan also began awarding bursaries in 1971 to assist needy children.
