About Us

Empowering Single Mothers To Rebuild Stable, Independent Lives

The Single Mothers Initiative Program (SMIP) is a community-based project designed to empower and support single mothers facing economic, social and family-related challenges.


SMIP provides targeted emergency assistance to vulnerable single mothers and their children during periods of crisis, and walks with them as they rebuild their lives. Founded in 2024, SMIP serves single mothers and vulnerable people, including mothers who have been displaced by war and whose homes and property have been destroyed.
