Together, we can bring dignity to migrant workers
30 men sleeping in a dormitory, beds spaced half a metre apart, all sharing one bathroom. A maid beaten and locked behind closed doors. A construction worker forced to be repatriated because his employer doesn’t want to cover work related medical costs.
These are not stories from a distant land or exaggerations of an undeveloped nation. These common atrocities are happening much closer to home – in our Singapore.
Migrant workers are the hidden backbone of our society. They build our award winning architecture, keep our streets clean and help raise our children.
They deserve fairness, dignity and respect.
At TWC2, it is our mission to build a world where migrant workers are treated as human beings. A society that recognises and values the important contribution they make to our households, economy and country.
Our passionate team rely on your donations to keep our mission going.
For migrant workers, your donations help us do many things to restore dignity including feeding those who haven’t been paid, supporting those with disputes and covering emergency medical costs.
Donating is easy, secure and handled by our partners at Sg Gives or Paypal (click the appropriate logos). We prefer Sg Gives – the donation portal run by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre – as the handling charges are lower.
