Urgent help needed for exploited immigrant workers in NZ!
Auckland
NZ is desperate for good workers in many categories.
Unscrupulous organisations promise well paid jobs. Once they arrive with their families. They are forced to sign unreasonable contracts. They have ended up in significant debt. They are not told of the difficulties they will experience by not speaking English.
Many have been dismissed, changing their visa status to "exploitation visa" they are not able to access emergency help for food, nappies, accomodation, schooling expenses, lawyers' fees to sort their difficult situation.
The money will go directly to the most needy families to help them survive while they sort their difficult situation.
Our volunteers are in co-ordination with Karen Gibney the President of an organisation called: "Latin Community Tauranga"
The workers in need (on exploitation visas) can write to:
Or call
0210515937.
Upon approval of verified cases, direct deposits will be made to their accounts.
We hope to be able to donate $250 to each worker.
Please help us!!
I am helping with their victim's statements translations and learning first hand from their urgent basic human needs in NZ!
I emmigrated to NZ 34 years ago. I have experienced how hard it is to get established in a new country.
Food, nappies, schooling needs, accomodation for the dismissed worker's families. They can't access any gov. help
The criteria: worker on exploitation visa supporting their families.
Their victim statemement will be checked by "Latin Community Tauranga"
