Partner Organisation We Are Raising Funds for in 2026
Migrant Mutual Aid (MMA) was set up in late 2020 – at the height of the COVID-19 crisis – to facilitate the redistribution of resources from Singaporeans to the migrant worker community. MMA sees migrant workers as an integral part of the Singaporean fabric, to whom we owe our solidarity, rather than charity. In this spirit, MMA serves as a link between migrant workers with specific needs and individuals who wish to extend solidarity by redirecting resources to them. More information on Migrant Mutual Aid’s verification, listing, and disbursement procedures can be found on their website.
Migrant Mutual Aid is represented on the Council of the CritiCare Fund for Migrant Workers. The CritiCare Fund for Migrant Workers was launched in December 2024 as Singapore’s first community-led fund dedicated to supporting migrant workers diagnosed with critical illnesses. It was born from the lived experiences of its founders, who had previously supported low-wage migrant and domestic workers struggling to fundraise for their medical treatment. Its aim is to ensure that every migrant worker in need, regardless of personal popularity, visibility, or connections, has a fair chance of receiving timely financial support when faced with a critical illness. More information about the CritiCare Fund can be found at their website, as well as their Instagram and LinkedIn accounts.

All funds raised went directly to TWC2, to distribute between the Standing Medical Fund and the Farego Initiative.

This year, the funds went to: (1) support R in the next stage of his cancer treatment, (2) TWC2 to distribute replacement mobile phones to destitute Muslim migrant workers: both male construction workers and female domestic workers.
2021 - Part 2: We raised $25,180 for a Migrant Worker with Cancer

Organisasi Rakan Kongsi yang Kami Kumpul Dana untuk Tahun 2026
Ditubuhkan lewat tahun 2020 pada kemuncak krisis COVID-19, Migrant Mutual Aid (MMA) ingin memudahkan pengagihan sumbangan warga Singapura kepada khalayak pekerja asing. MMA menganggap khalayak tersebut sebagai bahagian penting masyarakat Singapura yang wajar disokong dan bukan sekadar diberi sedekah. Berpedomankan pemikiran ini, MMA bertindak sebagai penghubung kelompok pekerja itu dengan warga yang mahu menghulurkan bantuan. Maklumat lanjut mengenai proses pengesahan, penyenaraian dan pengagihan sumber Migrant Mutual Aid boleh didapatkan melalui lamannya.
Migrant Mutual Aid kini sebahagian daripada Lembaga Dana CritiCare Pekerja Asing. Dana CritiCare Pekerja Asing dilancarkan pada bulan Disember 2024 sebagai dana pertama di Singapura pimpinan relawan masyarakat bagi menyokong pekerja yang disahkan menghidapi penyakit kritikal. Usaha ini lahir hasil pengalaman pengasasnya sendiri yang pernah memberi sokongan kepada pekerja asing dan pembantu rumah yang bergelut mencari dana membiayai rawatan. Tidak kira tahap kepopularan masing-masing atau siapa yang mereka kenali, mereka percaya bahawa setiap pekerja yang memerlukan boleh meraih bantuan kewangan secara sama rata apabila menghadapi penyakit kritikal. Maklumat lanjut mengenai Dana CritiCare boleh didapatkan dengan melayari laman serta akaun-akaun Instagram dan LinkedIn.
