Who We Are

Alumni associations aim to bring together like-minded individuals who are looking to fulfil a common goal. We at FORTESS are proud to have created an Alumni for the greater good of the community.

We are a team of creative, talented and open-hearted souls who are looking to collaborate with each other to bring hope back into the lives of those who are lost. We have spent years together at work and now want to bring new meaning to our bond by showing care for the deserving. Using our experience and skills that we have accumulated over the years, we intend to create various opportunities to empower people to help themselves.
