Repair Kopitiam Returns: Empowering Community Repairs at Our Tampines Hub
The spirit of community and sustainability recently converged at Festive Drive, as Repair Kopitiam made its welcome return to Our Tampines Hub (OTH). This popular initiative continues to champion the fight against the 'buy-and-throw-away' culture, empowering residents with the essential skills and confidence to mend their damaged household items.
Bridging Skills and Sustainability Through Hands-On Learning
At the heart of Repair Kopitiam’s impactful sessions are its dedicated volunteer coaches. These experienced individuals generously share their knowledge, guiding residents through the process of repairing a diverse range of items. From troubleshooting faulty electrical appliances and breathing new life into beloved toys, to meticulously mending torn clothing, participants receive invaluable, practical instruction. This not only extends the lifespan of everyday goods but also cultivates a deeper appreciation for repair and resourcefulness within the community.
Important Information for Participants
To ensure a smooth and effective experience for everyone, Repair Kopitiam operates with a clear system for managing items. All household goods brought in for repair are subject to an approval process. Only items that have been pre-registered and subsequently approved by the Repair Kopitiam team can be accepted for a repair session. This structured approach helps ensure that volunteer coaches are well-prepared for the items they will be assisting with, maximizing the success of each repair.
This initiative represents a significant step towards a zero-waste future, actively promoting mindful consumption and supporting a circular economy. By choosing to repair rather than simply replace, we collectively contribute to reducing waste and fostering a more sustainable lifestyle.

Let's continue to embrace the power of repair and say a resounding YES to zero waste!
