A word from our Interns

Each summer we take on 6-8 interns studying law, who wish to make a difference to the lives of domestic workers, whilst gaining invaluable experience. We spoke to Nicole, Giya and Myr about their time at HELP. To read more about what they learnt and loved click here

Success story of the month

Femy Baran is a foreign domestic worker who was referred to HELP by her Priest in March. Her employer had terminated Femy because she was having difficulty breathing and experiencing severe foot swelling. The employer was forcing Femy to work long hours doing both her domestic worker duties and moving extremely heavy pieces of metal around for the employer’s nearby factory.

HELP extends its service

Since we launched our Whats App service 2 years ago we have had just over 100 clients contact us in this way with a further 143 enquiries coming through Facebook. Although most clients come to our office, we realise that insufficient days off, long travel times and a lack of funds limits them, so Whats App and Facebook are a fantastic alternative. If you know someone that needs our help please share this newsletter with them
