Food For love project: Food for our migrant brothers:

Current condition:
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.

Plastic waste is choking our seas and coasts, threatening ecosystems, livelihoods and lives in South-East Asia. Due to Covid-19, we are now fighting a plastic pandemic of new waste created from ‘new norms’ of plastic consumption, such as the use of single-use plastics including personal protective equipment.

We hope to spark a movement led by South-East Asian sustainability advocates to combat the triple threat of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution that the region is facing. ‘100 Days to #BeatPlasticPollution’ will mobilise digitally connected youth to adopt habits that will help turn the tide on the plastic pandemic. Research shows that, on average, it takes 66 days for a new behaviour to become automatic. Through this campaign, people are challenged to choose one simple habit that can be sustained for 100 days, and kept for life, to #BeatPlasticPollution.

Join 100 Days to #BeatPlasticPollution. Go to @unep and find the Effects tab. Choose from ‘Say No To Single-Use’, ‘Clean Our Oceans’, ‘Drowning In Plastic’ or ‘Meet The Reusables’, take a photo or video and share on your Story.
