About the Event
About AGWO
The Alliance of Guest Workers Outreach (AGWO) is an initiative of the Hope Initiative Alliance (HIA), in partnership with various Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs), civil organisations, corporations, professional bodies, guest worker dormitories, and government agencies.
It is the aim of the AGWO to provide guest workers in Singapore with holistic care in a sustainable manner. The AGWO also hopes to establish a platform for collaborations, partnerships, and the sharing of resources and services, which will benefit guest workers residing in Singapore. In order to ensure maximum efficiency in sharing resources, the AGWO offers both direct and indirect opportunities of involvement for partners—as administrators of services, and facilitators in providing assistance to guest workers, respectively.
Past AGWO Initiatives:
- Walking in Your Shoes, an exhibition that provided a glimpse into the lives of the guest workers in Singapore, and revealed some of their untold stories. Mr Zaqy Mohamed, Minister of State in the Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Manpower, graced the opening ceremony as the Guest of Honour.
