NGO mission and description of organization’s work

HELP for Domestic Workers, provides free advice and assistance on employment, immigration and human rights issues to domestic workers in Hong Kong. Every domestic worker in Hong Kong, irrespective of race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation or gender, should have access to justice and receive equal and fair treatment before the law.

Having a volunteer on our team with specialist expertise in fundraising & events management will have a direct impact on our ability to raise funds, thus enabling us to continue our invaluable work in ensuring that foreign domestic workers have fair and equal treatment and access to the law.  It will also enable us to continue our education programmes for foreign domestic workers, employers and future employers.
