who we are

Founded in 2022, the Memunat Single Mother and Child Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting single mothers and their children. Our organization was created by a team of passionate volunteers who share a commitment to building a fairer and more compassionate society.

We understand the unique challenges that single mothers face, from social stigma to financial and emotional struggles. Our mission is simple yet powerful: “…empathise, not stigmatise.” Through advocacy, community support, and empowerment programs, we strive to provide single mothers and their children with the respect, care, and opportunities they deserve.

At the heart of our work is the belief that every single mother and child has the right to dignity, compassion, and a brighter future. By partnering with communities, volunteers, and stakeholders, we aim to break the cycle of discrimination and create a safe and supportive environment where families can thrive.
