Industry: Humanitarian Aid | Non-Profit | Social Impact | International Relief
Professional Experience: Before focusing on international humanitarian work, Gilbert Goh was actively involved in social causes and charitable initiatives in Singapore. Through Love Aid Singapore, he has led numerous humanitarian missions to support Syrian and Palestinian refugees, coordinating food distribution, winter relief programmes, orphan support, medical assistance, and community development projects. Under his leadership, Love Aid Singapore has raised millions of dollars in aid and helped establish field kitchens, educational facilities, childcare centres, and healthcare services for affected communities.
Turning Point: A major turning point came following a personal period of reflection after significant life challenges. Seeking greater purpose, Gilbert accepted an invitation to participate in humanitarian work in Lebanon. What began as a single mission evolved into a long-term commitment, leading him to make regular trips to the Middle East and eventually dedicate much of his life to supporting refugees and communities affected by conflict. The outbreak of the Gaza conflict in 2023 further expanded the scale and impact of his humanitarian efforts.
What He Does Now: Today, Gilbert Goh leads Love Aid Singapore’s humanitarian initiatives across the Middle East. He works closely with local partners to deliver food aid, medical support, orphan care, educational programmes, and community rebuilding projects. He also conducts public talks and awareness campaigns in Singapore, encouraging people from all backgrounds to support humanitarian causes and contribute to relief efforts that transcend race, religion, and national borders.
