Population, Environment, and Development (PED) Director – BUILD

AFIDEP, together with other partners, is implementing a five-year global project called Building Capacity for Integrated Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FP/RH) and Population, Environment and Development (PED) Action (BUILD) funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) in Washington D.C.

  • Vaping in Singapore: More Than Just a Trend

    In today’s fast-paced world, people are always looking for ways to unwind, relax, and enjoy the moment — and for many, vaping has become an essential part of their routine . In Singapore, where modern life moves quickly, the rise of vaping culture has brought with it a stylish escape. It’s not just about the devices or the clouds of vapor — it’s about flavor, convenience, and finding your own vibe.

    Disposable Vapes: Simple, Smooth, Ready to Go

    Let’s face it — nobody wants to deal with complicated setups all the time. That’s where disposable vapes shine. They’re perfect for busy individuals who still want that satisfying hit without the hassle of charging, refilling, or replacing parts.

    Popular models like the VAPETAPE UNPLUG / OFFGRID, LANA ULTRA II, and SNOWWOLF SMART HD offer thousands of puffs in one easy-to-use device. Whether you’re out for the day or just need something quick and easy, these disposables have got your back.

    New Arrivals: Fresh Gear, Fresh Experience

    The best part about being into vaping? There’s always something new around the corner. The latest releases like the ELFBAR ICE KING and ALADDIN ENJOY PRO MAX bring something different to the table — whether it’s colder hits .

    The ELFBAR RAYA D2 is another standout, offering more than just puff count — it comes with adjustable airflow , so you can really make it your own.

    Bundles: Smart Choices for Regular Vapers

    If you vape often, buying in bulk just makes sense. Combo packs like the VAPETAPE OFFGRID COMBO or the LANA BAR 10 PCS COMBO aren’t just practical — they’re also a smart investment . No more running out at the worst time, and you save a bit while you’re at it.

    Flavors That Speak to You

    At the end of the day, it’s all about taste. Some days you want something icy and refreshing from the Cold Series, other times you’re craving the smooth, mellow vibes of the Smooth Series. Then there are those sweet cravings — and trust us, the Sweet Series delivers.

    Prefer the classic richness of tobacco? There’s a whole series for that too. And if you’re trying to cut back on nicotine, the 0% Nicotine Series gives you all the flavor without the buzz.

    Final Thoughts

    Vaping in Singapore isn’t just a passing trend — it’s a lifestyle choice for many. With so many options available, from pocket-sized disposables to customizable devices, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re taking your first puff, or an experienced user , the experience is all about what feels right to you — your way, your flavor, your style .
