Our response

to Filipino migrants

in distress

We believe in the idea of 'migrant-to-migrant sheltering', that migrants offer shelter to other migrants.

Migrants specially the undocumented are the ones who fall between the cracks, so to speak, of the Dutch welfare state system. They do not enjoy a social safety net unlike the rest of the population. They are sometimes pushed to the edge of the cliff in times of crisis.

Our Vision And Objectives

Long-term goal

To develop a center for the empowerment of Filipino migrants especially women and the undocumented. As regards au pairs to uphold the EU Convention on the Placement of Au Pairs.
