Learning & Development

Singapore is home to a growing number of foreign caregivers, with foreign domestic Workers making up a significant portion of the workforce. However, many of these individuals lack financial literacy, leaving them vulnerable to financial stress and scams.

Taking inspiration from Gametize’s 6D Framework, we based our designs to fit our identified problem statement. Moral Home’s caregivers are currently having trouble assimilating into their new work and living environments: The Garden Angels for Moral Home!

Our partner, Moral Home for the Aged Sick, told us that many of their foreign caregivers primarily from Myanmar and the Philippines feel disconnected from Singapore beyond the walls of their workplace. They stay indoors on their off days, stick to the same few familiar spots, and miss out on the accessible experiences that could genuinely improve their well-being.

Our project addresses a real-world issue in caregiving: the difficulty foreign caregivers and volunteers may face when trying to connect meaningfully with elderly residents in Singapore. While many caregivers are able to support seniors physically, obtaining emotional and social connections are challenged when there are differences in language, culture, and everyday experiences.
