In light of the recent pandemic and the existing issues present in society, the most affected sector is the vulnerable groups in the community. Although Singapore has no definite poverty line, there is still identification among vulnerable groups such as households with limited resources and low income or migrant workers.
How can you support vulnerable groups in the community near you? Here’s how you can begin the small steps to making a difference.
Establish a sense of trust and awareness
With resource constraints such as lack of food security in Singapore, it may result in more people under the urban poverty line falling behind. To help vulnerable groups in the community, the people and the government should have an opportunity to work together and step up their efforts to instil commitment, involvement, and transparency.
Be more accepting
In the case of migrant workers who find it frightening to voice their concerns, you may encourage more people to understand their stories. You can be a voice and conduct sharing activities to narrate the experiences of the vulnerable groups in the community.
Collaborate with support groups
Expand your help by being part of groups aligned in addressing issues of urban poverty. Encourage the private and public sectors to lend a helping hand on behalf of the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in the community.
Promote inclusivity
Encourage companies to pay attention to inclusivity, especially for workers with age gaps for young and old. You can support the vulnerable groups in the community by being attentive and empathic to the numerous working problems.
Take advantage of social media.
Use your online platforms as an advantage to voice out existing situations of vulnerable groups in the community. Social media can be an effective tool for promoting efforts to address the basic needs and improve food security in Singapore.
Be a voice and support the vulnerable groups in the community by being part of The Best of You movement. Share your story today by participating and by being one of their volunteers!
