Book & Host physical learning package
One-Forty is a non-profit startup committed to SEA migrant worker issue. Our mission is “Make every migrant journey worth and inspiring”. We also believe every person deserves to dream, and every story deserves listeners. To accomplish our mission, we are devoted to empower them with required skills and trainings, so they can regain self-awareness and self-confident with clear visions and better lives. In the process, we also aspire to improve structural economic issues.
Book & Host
To help overcome language barriers and cultural differences, One-Forty introduced the Book & Host Project for Migrants. The project includes a physical learning package catering to migrant workers, as well as a comprehensive online learning platform with instructors and more than 300 videos and livestreams. Migrant workers from across Taiwan can enroll in the project with no application fees. We hope to help them quickly get accustomed to their new jobs and new lives in Taiwan, and we also wish to contribute to quality interactions between them and Taiwanese people.
Our Impact
Embarking on a year of education, 63,000 migrant workers have joined us in learning online, and over 2,000 have received physical learning kits since 2019. Most migrant workers that had completed the project reported improved self-confidence as well as quality of both work and life. 92.5% also cited bettered interactions with their Taiwanese host families.

Make every migrant’s journey worthy and inspiring is our mission. We are dedicated to building a support system for migrant workers throughout their journey. Not only we will do research before our programs are launched, but also we will visit our alumni who are back to their countries and trace the impact of our programs. At the same time, visiting Taiwanese companies in Southeast Asia to understand their talent demand, and helping our students for job matching after they finish their work in Taiwan. For example, 5 of our alumni are working in Taiwanese companies in Indonesia with higher salaries than average. Alumni can always participate in the online Facebook community after graduate, and share job hunting information with others.
More than 50 alumni have returned to their home countries and successfully opened small businesses. For example, Adi has a ranch full of 150 goats. What he has learned the most in One-Forty is business strategy and finance management. His goal is to scale up to 600 goats and he are more confidence about his plan now. Another example is Evi who opens a restaurant back home. She believed the program enabled her to anticipate challenges in the future and know how to tackle them. Meanwhile, there are over 5 alumni working in Taiwanese companies back home with stable salaries. Yani And Yusni now work as translators and earn 700 USD a month, which is 3 times higher than the average.
