Collaterals for Migrant Worker Dormitories with CMSC

For a long time — during Circuit Breaker and far beyond — many dormitories were put under isolation and were not given clear instructions, which meant them needing assistance for their everyday needs.

COVID-19 Migrant Support Coalition (CMSC) was a ground-up initiative started by a few organisations within the migrant worker landscape. Together, we addressed both critical needs as well as longer-term programmes and services to meet the workers’ evolving needs.

Migrant & Me primarily helmed a department of volunteer designers to support CMSC’s initiatives. Due to the avalanche of directives, guidelines and information, many migrant workers felt fearful and anxious. We therefore created collaterals in their native language that were clear and concise, focusing on key information that they needed to know.  

As the pandemic raged on, we observed a rising need for casework. Migrant & Me was involved in providing manpower for CMSC’s casework department, which centres on taking calls from migrant workers seeking assistance.
