Support a Brighter Future for Migrant Workers through Education, Building a More Inclusive Taiwan
Taiwan: A Land of Dreams for 700,000 Migrant Workers
Every year, thousands of migrant workers travel over 3,000 kilometers to pursue a better life in Taiwan. They’re the backbone for families back home and a vital part of caregiving in our own homes. They bring with them dreams and, like us, grow to love this beautiful land.
Changing Futures for Migrant Families through Education
"I miss my family and feel a deep attachment to my hometown, but coming to Taiwan has given me the chance to become someone different." Despite their limited days off, many migrant students dedicate their precious time to One-Forty’s Migrant School, hoping this journey to Taiwan will change their lives and futures.
"I want to learn how to take care of my grandmother." "I want to return to Indonesia to teach Mandarin and help other migrant workers like me!" Through education, students tell us that they improve relationships with host families, build lasting friendships in Taiwan, and create a brighter future for their loved ones.
One-Forty: Building Bridges Between Migrant Workers and Taiwanese Society
Founded in 2015, One-Forty has been dedicated to migrant worker education for nearly a decade. Through in-person classes and an online learning platform, we've supported over 90,000 migrant workers in learning Mandarin, Taiwanese, cultural adaptation, and caregiving skills. This school, built by the Taiwanese for migrant workers, not only shares knowledge but extends kindness. We help migrant workers overcome cultural barriers, improve interactions with their host families, and bring peace of mind to the elderly they care for!
