KAYLEE KUA
Interim Executive Director of Daughters Of Tomorrow (DOT)

WHAT IS YOUR VISION AND MISSION?

Daughters Of Tomorrow (DOT) has a vision of empowering women and enabling families. Our mission is to facilitate livelihood opportunities for underprivileged women and supporting them in their efforts to achieve financial independence, thus enabling social mobility for their families. 

WHAT DO THE HOLIDAYS MEAN TO YOU? 

The holiday season represents a time of reflection and gratitude for me, remembering and acknowledging the privileges that I have, and letting go of what is beyond my control. Every holiday season is also a time to connect, celebrate being with loved ones and recharge for the next season.

WHAT FESTIVE INITIATIVES DOES THE ORGANISATION HAVE PLANNED THIS YEAR?

Our team at DOT is humbled each year with Corporate and Community Partners who support our community of women. We receive several inquiries every year from individuals and corporate partners who wish to support our DOT community with their time, donations or donations-in-kind (at give.asia/ dreamsofourdaughters). Due to our limited manpower and resources at DOT, our team depends on corporate volunteers for the logistical support required to distribute all donations-in-kind directly to our women.
