One-Forty

Our Mission

To make every migrant’s journey worthy and inspiring by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to thrive.

The Need

Southeast Asian migrant workers in Taiwan face limited education, few transferable skills, and financial instability. Social discrimination, cultural barriers, and tech-driven inequality further limit their access to stable, long-term opportunities.

The Solution

One-Forty empowers migrant workers in Mandarin, digital skills, and finance to boost job prospects and future security. The alumni network bridges Taiwan and Southeast Asia, offering continued support and opportunity after migrants return home.

Our Impact

With government, corporate, and social media support, we ensure no one is left behind. They have empowered over 100,000 migrant workers through Taiwan’s first online learning platform. The 2025 mobile app launch reaffirms the mission to remove all barriers to migrant education.

Funding Program

By bridging the gap between host and home countries, One-Forty help migrants alleviate poverty and build sustainable futures for themselves and their families. Their work is driven by four core pillars:

Integration & Reintegration Program:
Supporting the full lifecycle of migration, from local adaptation to successful reintegration and entrepreneurship in home countries.
Migrant School Program:
Providing essential skill-building in Mandarin, financial literacy, and digital education to unlock each individual’s potential.
Global Citizenship Education Program:
Reimagining public narratives and fostering social empathy through cultural advocacy and immersive storytelling.
Inclusive Society Partnership Program:
Collaborating with multi-stakeholder partners to build a supportive ecosystem and promote social cohesion.
