introducing aidha
aidha is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to ‘enriching lives through financial education.’ Inspired by UNIFEM’s National Committee, Singapore, aidha serves women migrant workers. We provide confidence-building, money management, and entrepreneurship training. We also offer the micro-credit services necessary to launch small businesses back home.
aidha builds the skills that build brighter futures.

support aidha’s social enterprise: donate your used laptops today!
aidha works hard to create a sustainable future - for its students and for itself. aidha receives no major corporate support or government grants. We rely on the generosity of our aidha friends and on our own earned-income activity. We ‘walk the talk.’ We cannot promote small business launch with our students if we are unable to sustain one ourselves. But we do! aidha earns over 80% of its operating funds.
How? We sell our heartwarming children’s books along with an array of aidha insignia wear and collectibles. More importantly, though, we refurbish computers! aidha is a proud Microsoft authorized refurbisher. We take used laptop computers, clean them, install new software, and sell them at a token cost to our students and other low-income individuals. It is one of our most powerful, value-added activities. Through this program, our donors can responsibly recycle their used computing equipment. Our students have access to computing technologies they never imagined they could afford. And, aidha earns its essential revenue.

recycle your e-waste!
Because of our computer initiative, aidha has learned so much about the power and influence of computing technology. But we have also learned about the threat it poses. E-waste is one of the fastest growing types of environmentally–hazardous waste today. It pollutes our landfills, our groundwater, and poses severe health risk to our wildlife and children. Few of us know of the dangers of e-waste, yet virtually all of us contribute to the growing tons of e-waste in our landfills.
aidha wants us all to be a bit greener. So, we’ve launched an e-waste recycling program! You can drop off your e-waste on any Sunday and our pro bono recycler, Cimelia, will pick it up and dispose of it properly.
We can take:
* mp3 players * batteries * wires & cables * handphones * printers * printer cartridges * chargers * small appliances * hard drives * laptops
Let’s all do our part! Recycle your e-waste today.
