About WholeTree Foundation / OverTheRainbow.sg (OTR)

The WholeTree Foundation for Youth Wellness was founded in 2010 as the family foundation of Yen-Lu & Yee Ling Chow, in loving memory of their son Lawrance Chow who suffered from manic depression and ended his own life at the youthful age of 26.

Our mission is to identify and catalyze worthwhile social innovation projects to effect positive transformations in the area of youth and human wellness, for the disadvantaged and underprivileged, on a global scale. 

Programs initiated and launched to-date include: iQube One-Tablet-Per-Child Literacy and Education program for the Base-of-Pyramid, Circle-of-Care (2015), OTR You.th Matters outreach (2019), Circle-Of-Connection (2020) and launching in early 2021 - OTR Listens, live text-based support centre. 

OTR is a one-stop hub for youth mental wellness that integrates online communities and offline activities, bringing together various stakeholders to exchange information, advance understanding, share experiences, gain support, and seek help while catalyzing social awareness and acceptance on the issue of mental illness and promote mental wellness.  

We wish to guide every youth on a journey of self-discovery and transformation – self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-actualization – living a life of enlightened mindfulness, cultivating harmony within and without, and by following their hearts, pursuing their most cherished dreams, fulfilling their deepest aspirations, towards a higher purpose in life.
