Founder, Safe Place

Jennifer Heng, Content Creator for Turning Pain Into Gain, is the Director of Safe Place. Here’s her story: When Jennifer Heng became pregnant as a teenager, she experienced the fear, loneliness, and desperation of having a “crisis pregnancy”. She walked through the painful consequences of her choices for many years and only found hope and healing much later in her life through her faith, family, and loved ones. With a passion and desire to empower others, she developed plans to set up a place where expectant mothers who feel alone and unsupported can find real help through people who care. Determined to help others avoid the same mistakes, she shared her story and wrote a book, Walking Out Of Secret Shame, in 2012. In 2014, she founded Dayspring New Life Centre, a shelter for young girls and women going through unplanned pregnancies. The place also provides counselling and other practical services for these women. In early 2018, Safe Place partnered with Lakeside Family Services, with Jennifer as its director. It is an initiative to empower women and families with unsupported pregnancies to make life-giving choices. As an itinerant speaker, Jennifer shares her story and passion for life issues in different organizations, schools, conferences, and churches in Singapore and overseas.
