Who we are

At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, two philanthropic business leaders, the Estate of Khoo Teck Puat and Estate of Ng Teng Fong, shared a common concern for the situation and welfare of migrant workers in Singapore. They sought a way to support the health and well-being of the migrant workers who had become the backbone of Singapore. Determined and dedicated, the Donors set out to turn their wishes into reality.

Envisioning a haven of care, they visited several potential sites for a medical centre and explored a range of services that the centre can provide such as medical care, rehabilitation, mental health, dental health and more. They brought St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital on board as a provider of the medical services, and SBF Foundation, the social impact arm of Singapore Business Federation, to spearhead this transformative initiative.

Each founding donor contributed $10m (ST article 30 Nov 2021), making up a total of $20m donation as a seed funding for this ground up donor-initiated initiative for migrant workers in Singapore.

Empowering Migrant Well-being: The Genesis of Project MigrantWell

From this shared dedication, MigrantWell Singapore (MWS) was set up as an Institution of Public Character in 2021, for the health and wellbeing of migrant workers.

A MigrantWell Welfare Fund (MWWF) was established to complement existing healthcare plans by addressing care gaps such as dental health, mental health, and rehabilitative care. MWS aspires to be a care compact for migrant workers who acts in unison with other like-minded organisations to support migrant workers.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
