Vision:
Building a Culture of Welcome where “No man, woman or child is a stranger. We are family.”
The work of H.O.M.E. promotes a ‘culture of welcome` in the remaking of Singapore 21. We believe that our programs and services for foreigners will have a positive impact on Singapore both locally and globally in the following ways:
* A safer and more secure society for all;
* Enhanced skills of foreign workers to serve our nation;
* A global image of a welcoming host country;
* Supporting the work of law enforcement agencies.
H.O.M.E. communicates to the world, that as a people Singapore is law abiding and welcomes guest workers to contribute to nation building. H.O.M.E. has also forged close ties with the foreign embassies in collaborative strategies to ensure that the welfare of guest workers is addressed.
Mission
H.O.M.E. is committed to the principle that migration of people benefits the global society with a focus on the effects of migration within the context of Singapore.
* To develop research and education on the socio-economics of migration in Singapore
* To provide social integration services for emigrants and immigrants
* To provide humanitarian assistance for the effects of ‘crisis` migration
Migrants and migrant workers play a vital role in contributing to the communities of both sending and receiving countries. In Singapore many of them occupy positions in industries, such as construction, shipyard, manufacturing and services. A significant number of women migrants are domestic workers. We believe that Singapore, as a host nationshould take the interests of migrant workers into consideration and build a community that is a global family to all.
