GUEST(MIGRANT) WORKERS
In partnership with Hope Initiative Alliance and over 100 organisations, we launched the Alliance of Guest Workers Outreach (AGWO). AGWO hopes to provide guest workers in Singapore with holistic care and provide a platform for organisations to partner and collaborate to care for these guest workers.
RECENT EVENTS:
1. SG United Amidst Adversity #CharitiesCaringTogether
SowCare aided at least 5,000 of these individuals-including Guest Workers, elderly, people with disabilities, residents of halfway houses, the poor and needy, as well as the homeless communities. These individuals are especially vulnerable now that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated their difficulties, especially since they would also need surgical masks, hand sanitisers and food supplies.
2. Feasts of Appreciation
We held a feast to appreciate guest workers, with dormitory owners, government officials and AGWO partners. The event will also launch the series of feasts in the last quarter of 2019 throughout Singapore, culminating with the Guest Workers Appreciation Day on 18 December 2019.
3.S3P & The innkeepers's project for the Homeless
SowCare worked closely with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) in setting up Safe Sound Sleeping Places (S3P), throughout the circuit breaker period
