ENRICH

Afiqah, a Befriender, has been volunteering with DOT for over a year. She works full-time in a corporate role, but makes time to support two DOT women assigned to her through phone check-ins, texts and in-person where possible.

HOW DOES YOUR ROLE HELP THE DOT WOMEN?

As a Befriender at DOT, I get in touch and connect with women from low-income backgrounds who are facing challenging circumstances in their family lives. They could be single mums who take on a bigger share of the childcare burden, or lack support from their partners and need more access to financial empowerment.

VOLUNTEERING WITH DOT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE…

I’ve helped the women feel supported in their journey by providing a safe space of expression. Sure, we bridge them with things like skills training, and job opportunities, which are all great measures in helping them make a leap. But for women who may not often get empathy for their perspectives, having that someone to talk to, feeling seen and being understood, could help them regain their confidence. Confidence in a woman is the stuff that turns aspiration into action!
