It may include attending some domestic workers’ gatherings and interviewing community partners on Sundays. You will also replicate the work done with our English-speaking Facebook group by creating a Bahasa-Indonesia speaking one.
  • Engage and manage our team of alumni volunteers to support our community-building efforts (our Social Media correspondents co-manage and create content for our Facebook groups, and our ambassadors share the content to their networks)
  • Build and leverage a strong network of community partners to sustain our impact and increase our reach. I.e.: Consulates and Embassies, NGOs, employment agencies, service providers for the community etc.
  • Help organisation of events for our community.

2. Employers of Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs).

  • Grow our enrolments in our fee-based courses and contribute to awareness-raising initiatives to promote fair recruitment and management practices. This includes the management and development of our Facebook groups for employers and fee-based courses.
