THIS CAMPAIGN IS SUPPORTED BY THE TOTE BOARD ENHANCED FUND-RAISING PROGRAMME: DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT WITH YOUR DONATIONS!
In 2026, it will cost more than $550,000 to operate our Women's Crisis Shelter and Casework Helpdesk. We seek your financial support to sustain our essential operations.
For more than 20 years, HOME has operated a shelter for migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in distress, where MDWs can access free food and lodging. Our shelter also provides counselling services and emotional support to our residents. Each year we house around 450 MDWs.
Our team of trained caseworkers and volunteers at the Domestic Worker Casework Helpdesk offer advice to workers unsure of their rights and options. We also provide free assistance with managing the end-to-end process of workers’ cases, supporting them to seek recourse, whether that be legal, medical, financial or psychological. Each year we support more than 1200 MDWs through our helpdesk and helpline.
We also organise regular shelter activities, such as empowerment workshops, games and exercise classes, as well as fun outings for our residents, creating opportunities for them to build strong bonds and release stress.
HOME remains one of the very few independent non-government organizations providing direct services to migrant workers in crisis, treating them with dignity and respect in the process. We seek your continued support!

HOME is one of Singapore’s “Institutions of a Public Character”, or IPCs. An IPC is dedicated to serving the needs of the community in Singapore as a whole. IPC status means that tax-deductible receipts are issued to HOME’s donors who want to claim tax relief, based on the amount of qualifying donations made.
“The estate of Mdm Willie Siow Fung Wai Ying, a life-long philanthropist, has generously contributed $250,000 to support HOME’s Women’s Crisis Shelter and Casework Helpdesk. Notably, Mdm Siow’s first caregiver was a beneficiary of HOME’s Shelter, having suffered abuse under a previous employer. While being lovingly cared for by migrant domestic workers, Mdm Siow maintained a deep concern for their well-being. She was passionate about empowering them and helping them forge better pathways in life.
We thank the Estate for this generous donation, which ensures the continuation of HOME’s essential services, which provide shelter, sustenance, and comprehensive support, including legal, medical, financial, and emotional assistance, for women migrant workers who have faced abuse and exploitation. Our holistic approach not only restores dignity but also facilitates healing for these women, fostering a brighter future for them in Singapore and beyond.”
