The Making of The Hagar Story 2023

Great things are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people. Steve Jobs

Our Hagar team is made up of some of the most dedicated individuals with a deep compassion for the underprivileged, and commitment to make a difference for the afflicted.

You may not see them all the time, but they are the engine that powers up the work we do!

Thank you to everyone who has made this work possible –

Volunteers and sponsors of the Hagar charity golf tournament and all event helpers

Translators who make meaning out of our communication with beneficiaries

Content creators who help with copywriting and graphic design to support Hagar fundraising efforts, awareness and outreach campaigns

40.3+ Freedom Race participants who champion the cause and raise funds to support victims

Donors who give sacrificially year after year to provide critical aid and long-term support to our beneficiaries for their healing and empowerment

Board of directors who share generously their strategic insights, resources and friendship

“I can do things you cannot; you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” – Mother Teresa

This is the beauty of our work at HAGAR – Results are not accomplished by a single few. Rather, we are a team – made up of staff, volunteers, donors, community partners and each, equally committed to use our individual skills, resources and abilities to uplift the lives of women and children who have suffered from human trafficking, slavery and abuse.

We couldn’t have raised the amount of funds and provided such an enjoyable golf game to golfers without the help and advice of our golf committee, and volunteers on the golf course, and at the dinner celebration to help with every aspect of the programme.

Our work with beneficiaries in Singapore is enabled by our volunteer translators. Without them, it’d be impossible for us to provide any meaningful help at all. They give voice to our migrant workers who could not otherwise express fully their needs, pain and shame.

Translators assist us in all of our counselling sessions, training workshops, and skills-building programmes. Their genuine love and empathy shines through all of the interactions and provides our beneficiaries such comfort in their difficult journeys to recovery.

To our incredible 40.3+ Freedom Race participants, you are our Hagar champions and advocates. Thank you for helping to generate awareness amongst your family and friends and rallying their support for our Hagar beneficiaries!
Our board of directors who provide oversight and governance on our finances and work. Your advice is invaluable and your friendship ever more precious! Thank you for giving your time!
Backed up and supported by content creators, these volunteers help us with the social media content, event collaterals, communications content, and awareness campaigns copy! Thank you for sharing your creative juices!

And to our donors, you are just such amazing folks to respond and give each time we call out in need for our beneficiaries. We are so thankful for each of you, and we know we have a compassionate group of people who support Hagar’s work and believe in the restoration of broken lives. And to our donors who give every month – You lighten our burdens and enable us to meet our commitments to our beneficiaries without worrying about what the next day may bring. Without you, we absolutely cannot do this work.

To everyone who has walked with HAGAR and our beneficiaries in one way or another, thank you for your wonderful partnership. You have been such a blessing to our beneficiaries, and to the three of us at HAGAR. The year has not been easy, but we are so grateful to have you on this journey with us!
