“ Being part of Aidha has improved my self-confidence, communication
skills and [taught me] to be more empathetic. I would encourage
someone to join Aidha to not only get firsthand insights into the lives of
foreign domestic workers in Singapore but also to improve their
mentoring-related skills and of course, to make a positive impact on
others. ”
“ Mentoring at Aidha is such a fulfilling and enriching experience. The
students’ eagerness to learn, determination to complete the Aidha
curriculum, and drive to improve their lives are so impressive. As a
mentor, I have witnessed first-hand the extent of Aidha’s impact on
the lives of its students. Students become more empowered and
financially independent. ” - Marie-Laure, Module 2 - Plan Your Financial Future

I have no words to describe how proud I'm to be one of Aidha’s student. I remember a year ago before I found
Aidha, I was completely lost with no saving on my hands, and no future plans ahead. I was about to give up and go
home, until one day I found Aidha through website and I start join this program. I've learned a lot of things especially
about self confidence and financial management. Now I still finishing my module 2 and also I've started a small
business which I always dreamed of . Aninda Kusumawati
