AIDHA
Aidha is an award-winning Singapore-registered charity. Our mission is to provide financial literacy
and self-development skills to migrant domestic workers and other lower income women to enable
them and their families to break out of the cycle of poverty. Started initially under the auspices of
UNIFEM Singapore (which became UN Women Singapore and subsequently United Women
Singapore), Aidha became an organisation in its own right in 2006. Since its inception, Aidha has
impacted more than 6,000 women and their families and communities. We attained IPC (Institution
of Public Character) status in 2015 and have retained it ever since.

Aidha provides training in money management, computer skills, leadership, entrepreneurship and
English. We conduct most of our classes on Sundays when most migrant domestic workers have
their day off. Until the pandemic took hold in early 2020, we held in-person classes at our campus at
United World College in Dover. At that time, Aidha typically had 400-500 students attending classes
and a pool of 150-200 active volunteers conducting the classes. After going online through the
pandemic, Aidha is now back to in-person classes since early 2023 and a key focus for Aidha will be
to ramp up our enrolments. Our classes take place at our new main campus located at Rochester
Commons near Buona Vista, as well as at our satellite campus at the FAST Hub near Eunos.

Aidha is a small but successful organisation, now in an exciting stage of scaling up of its operations.
