The Memunat Single Mother and Child Initiative is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2022 by a group of passionate volunteers who wanted to make a difference in the lives of single mothers and their children. We recognize that single mothers and their children face many difficulties and discrimination in our society, and we want to change that. Our slogan is “…empathise, not stigmatise.” We believe that every single mother and child deserves respect, compassion and support.
We are TMSMCI. We “…empathise, not stigmatise.”
