Christmas Celebration for Migrant Domestic Workers by Foreign Worker Helping Hands Singapore

Living and working far from home can be challenging, especially during the holiday season. For many migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Singapore, Christmas is a time filled with mixed emotions. In this spirit, Foreign Worker Helping Hands Singapore organized a Christmas celebration that brought warmth, connection, and a sense of belonging to the community.

The event gathered MDWs, volunteers, and supporters in a simple yet meaningful celebration. More than just a festive gathering, it was a reminder that community can feel like home, even when you are far away.
