We Are Family!: From Domestic Helper to Entrepreneur - Why upskilling domestic helpers matters
Published on 13 Aug 2026
Many domestic helpers dedicate years to caring for Singaporean families. But should we also be encouraging them to invest in themselves? We discuss how skills training and financial education are empowering migrant domestic workers to pursue bigger dreams, and why helping them succeed may have a lasting impact far beyond the households they work in.
Joining us are Jacqueline Loh, Chief Executive Officer of Aidha, and May Martin, entrepreneur and Aidha alumna, to share how upskilling is transforming lives and why it could benefit not just helpers, but the families and communities around them.
