Love to our Migrant Brothers
Current Situation
When the migrant brothers come to Singapore to work, they have to pay agents to help them look for jobs. The amount ranges from SGD5,000 to SGD20,000.
These fees will then be paid by the migrant brothers to the agents over many months of instalments. It may take up to 3 years to clear these fees.
In the interim, the migrant brothers scrimp and save, after paying off the agent fees. They want to send more money home.
Daily food is what they mainly save on, resulting in a simple dish of curry and rice for three dishes, every day.
The migrant brothers help us with the infrastructure projects. From the MRT tracks to housing developments, and they deserve better.
Just as we help the low income families in Singapore, the migrant workers deserve our assistance too.
Help us to give them better food and improve their qualities of life.
What we offer
Value for Money Meals
Low cost foods does not mean low quality foods. We want to provide quality meals with economics of scale.
Culturally Sensitive Food
Our migrant friends may not be so used to our local tastes and cuisines. It is important that we provide familiar and comforting meals to them to feel like home.
Nutritionally Suitable
The foods served need to meet nutritional needs based on their jobs and also to maintain good health. For example, those in the construction industry require high energy diets.
Sustainability Through Self-Empowerment
We believe in working hand-in-hand with our migrant friends and have a co-payment system of subsidised meals rather than outright donation of food.
Managed Logistics
One important aspect of providing any service to our Migrant brothers is to have Effective Logistics - To deliver quality to large numbers of individuals from different companies living in far off dormitories.
Empathy & Humanity
We aim to build relationships with our migrant brothers, rather than to see them as beneficiaries. We will provide interactive programmes to interact more with our migrant friends over food where possible.
