Job Description

AIDHA Aidha is an award-winning Singapore-registered charity. Our mission is to provide financial literacy and
self-development skills to foreign domestic workers and lower income women to enable them and their
families to break out of the cycle of poverty. Started initially under the auspices of UNIFEM (now UN
Women), 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 much-coveted 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 foreign 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. Aidha is now transitioning back to in-person classes after
being online since 2020. While we will continue some online classes in the months ahead, a key focus for
Aidha will be to ramp up the number of in-person classes we offer, which will take place at our satellite
campus at the FAST Hub near Eunos, as well as our new main campus at Catapult near Buona Vista that
that just opened in Dec 2022. Aidha is a small but successful organisation, now in an exciting stage of growth and scaling up of its
operations.
