Our free online signature programme Dare to Dream provides education on money management, personal development, and mental well-being. Since 2018, over 7,000 domestic workers have learned to manage their finances and apply the life skills the course teaches.
Lessons run inside an online classroom, but students do not study alone. A team leader, who is a domestic worker and past participant, runs a group chat of up to 20 students. Optional in-person gatherings on days off let students meet classmates. A certificate of completion is issued at the end. It is not an official accreditation or diploma.
Good to know
No laptop needed. Students can use a phone. Self-paced with no scheduled meetings, so it fits around work. You can mute the class chat to avoid interruptions during work hours.
