ONE is an international campaign and advocacy organization backed by people from around the world and every walk of life who are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. In response to this initiative, ONE (Singapore) was founded in 2005 and is dedicated to raising public awareness and taking concrete actions to Make Poverty History.
RGS ONE Chapter was established in support of this movement. This year, we aim not only to advocate for the people who are suffering from poverty and illness, but also to physically reach out to them. We strive to bring the efforts of this international operation to locals who need our help.
Every three seconds a child dies from extreme poverty. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The resources and technology exist in the world today to transform the hopes and dreams of an entire generation into reality. At ONE, we believe the fight against poverty is not about charity, but about justice and equality. Every single human being deserves to live a life where they can at least obtain basic amenities like potable water.
Our team is honored to be part of a greater movement of people and organizations working to end poverty throughout the world, and we hope that you will join us in this cause.
The Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (H.O.M.E.) The charity is a registered society that looks into the welfare and rights of migrant workers in Singapore. It provides food and shelter to destitute female and male migrant workers, of which, many are abused domestic workers. It also offers assistance to workers who experience abuse and injustice. The shelter is currently running on a scarce supply of public donations. Should they run out, these workers will have no place to go to.
To start the year off, we will be organizing a series of exciting events in line with International Women’s Day. We are selling flowers at an affordable price for you to give to Important Women of Your Life on the 6th March 2009. A small note will be attached for you to write your heartfelt thanks to those women that made an impact in your life.
Funds raised will go to
In addition to the sale of flowers, we will be giving out heart-shaped papers for you to wirte your words of encouragement for the abused domestic workers.
We earnestly hope that you can join us in this cause and give us your fullest support .
sincerely,
RGS ONE Chapter
