Singapore ― Domestic helpers and employers in Singapore who have been caring for one another amid the Covid-19 pandemic stand to win awards under the Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Social Support and Training (FAST) initiative.

FAST is a non-profit organisation promoting social support and skills training for foreign domestic workers.

It recently announced the Exemplary MDW (migrant domestic worker) and Employer Award 2021, which recognises the special bond between the two parties.

A first of its kind for FAST, the award distinguishes the exemplary relationship between employer and domestic helper amid the tough times brought by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The criteria for exemplary relationships extend to support, bonding, care and going the extra mile.

The first prize is S$2,000, followed by S$1,000 and S$700 for the second and third place.

There will also be five merit prizes of S$300 each, while employer winners will receive “valuable gifts.”

All winners will receive a hamper, a certificate and a trophy, said FAST.
