Migrant workers support campaigns - Giving.sg - Community befriending programme - Tele-befriending

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Migrants we care and #HOMEFORALL migrants are two key e-campaigns launched to aid Singapore's migrant workers community, which has been seriously affected by COVID-19. The initiatives have raised S$ $1,105,951 (USD776k) and S$738,468 (USD518k) respectively as of 21 April 2020. A central giving page has been set up on Giving.SG to enable people and organizations to easily find and contribute to charities’ efforts to address the needs of communities affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The Community Befriending Programme (CBP) is a befriending programme for isolated elderly living by themselves in the community. The programme re-engages the elderly with community and links them to services which they may require.
