Programme Assistant

The Salvation Army in Singapore first cared for women and girls through our work shelter programmes in the 1930s. Today, the same compassion to care for women is carried on by helping foreign domestic workers who are caught in challenging circumstances and require the need for shelter.

We are partnering with the Centre of Domestic Employees, a non-governmental organisational arm of the National Trade Union Congress, to operate a residential care programme for sheltered foreign domestic workers.

Through thoughtful and nurturing programmes, we will work towards improving the well-being of the sheltered foreign domestic workers with the aim of guiding them to be more resilient and to feel cared for.
