Mirific Mums Charity is a single mother's effort to source help from those who are able and willing to do so and pass on the assistance to single mums and their little ones so that their burden is a little lighter. That's exactly what #SingleMums do when they face life's challenges head-on and ensure that they and their little ones are taken care of. However, efforts to register #MirificMums is un
derway and if you would like to assist, please send us a message on Messenger to @MirificMumsCharity or email us at [email protected]
When we receive specific requests for assistance (which almost always comes to us through known contacts), we create social media posts to raise funds or get in touch with our well-wishers. As we are not a registered entity, funds are received to the founder's bank account and are passed on to the beneficiary. The well-wisher is provided with a copy of the transaction advice to ensure transparency. We also purchase food supplies and pass it on to the beneficiaries and the well-wisher is provided with a copy of the bill to ensure transparency. Single mothers are a growing demographic in #SriLanka and unless one is war affected, Tsunami affected or under the poverty line, there is not much assistance available either by the government or the private sector. Through experience as a single mother, I know that a little help can go a long way. Following are some of the areas in which we can work:
1. Financial assistance for rent, children's education, education for the mother, to pay stacked up bills, to support with medical costs, day care costs etc.
2. Food supplies
3. Sponsorship for counselling support for the mother and/or children
We do not disclose the personal information of the beneficiaries or their children unless they give us their permission to do so of their own free will. Dignity is very important and we work towards preserving dignity. We are open to your support, comments and suggestions. Please get in touch with us and help single mums and their little ones. Come and work wonders with us!
