DONATE DATA TO THE FOREIGN WORKERS: CONNECT THEM TO THE WORLD

Donate mobile data to the Foreign Workers in Singapore! They do not have access to Mobile Data unless they pay for it so many are not able to reach out to their families back home and stay entertained during their quarantine.

thesituation
As of 06/04/2020, it was reported by the BBC that Singapore had quarantined over 20,000 migrant workers. This number has been increasing as the days progressed. Thousands of workers' movements have been subject to restriction and for the past week, there has been an average of 97% of the new COVID-19 cases being found in foreign workers. Many dormitories have been closed off and hundreds of foreign workers live inside. The situation is bleak and seems hopeless but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
​
We are all required to practice social distancing but most people are happy with it (to an extent). We are surrounded by our loved ones with steady access to WiFi and the internet. We call our extended families on WhatsApp and keep up to date with news from international sources. The foreign workers cannot undertake any of the aforementioned activities – many do not have access to WiFi nor a disposable income to pay for Mobile Data so they are unable to call their families, keep in touch with relatives and access the news.
​
This is why Donate Data has been created. We have compiled these workers' data and have the ability to top-up their mobile data plans. With your help, we can donate money to their data plans so that they too can call their families and stay connected. All it takes is $10SGD to make a worker smile and help them reach their loved ones.
