For Filipinos seeking assistance in Wellington

Filipino migrants were hardest hit in the recession here in New Zealand, when jobs became scarce and Filipinos who entered the country under the Work to Residence scheme found it very difficult to land a job that can earn them Permanent Residency.  Changes in the skilled job category also became a challenge for Filipinos who have been in the country for a number of years to find their work visa revoked.

In case you or you or a fellow Filipino you know is currently in dire straits, the KASAGIP Charitable Trust might be able to help.

The trust provides these services:

• Provide short term assistance to cover immediate basic needs (e.g. food, clothing, and other identified needs)
• Act as a "transition provider" until long term or other forms of assistance is established by the appropriate government institution
• Acts as a liaison or link to other support providers who can provide more assistance depending on the identified need.
