| Outline | This project is led by Grassroots Future in partnership with Self-Love Cupid. Self-Love Cupid is a self-led group of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong focusing on mental health. The project is named “Lestari/Napapanatili Fellowship” - Lestari and Napapanatili meaning ‘sustainable’ in Bahasa Indonesia and Tagalog. Migrant workers and refugees face more uncertainties in their personal lives, making stable leadership in self-led organisations a challenge. This project will empower migrant and refugee women through a series of capacity building workshops. By providing women with leadership tools and support, they aim to training a new crop of potential leaders from the communities. This project will hopefully contribute to greater representation and resilience within the communities. |
