About Home Away

Our Mission

Home Away was founded with a clear purpose: to build stronger community bonds and provide a support network for migrant workers in the UAE. We believe in a holistic approach that not only fosters social connection but also addresses the practical challenges these individuals face daily. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and at home.

What We Do

We're building a vibrant community through a variety of initiatives:

• Cultural Celebrations: We host events that celebrate the rich diversity of cultures within our community, including festivals like Diwali, Eid, and Christmas. These gatherings are a great way to share traditions, build new friendships, and feel connected to a larger family.

• Sports and Recreation: We organize fun, casual events like our annual cricket tournament, which provides a relaxed setting for workers to socialize, stay active, and build team spirit.

• Support & Advocacy: We are establishing discussion groups to provide a safe space for workers to talk about the challenges they face. Through these groups, we empower individuals by helping them learn how to voice their concerns to employers and landlords effectively.

• Connecting Families: We are working on a fundraising initiative to launch a pop-up internet cafe. This will provide workers with free access to the internet, making it easier for them to stay in touch with their loved ones back home.

Our Vision

Beyond our events and support groups, we aim to raise awareness about migrant worker issues and inspire wider community engagement. By doing so, we hope to foster a society where every individual feels a sense of belonging and has the support they need to thrive.
