“We will also be able to build more into our beneficiaries going forward to ensure they can make positive changes in their lives to be able to support themselves and their children,” said Jee.
Every week, the centre hosts workshops that focus on three topics – antenatal, child development and life skills.
Jee said the aim of these workshops is to teach mothers skills they can use to make a living.
“Most of these moms don’t work and with these skills, they may be able to start their own businesses,” she said.
They are in need of the following items:
• Six sets of curtains and net curtains
• Three blinds (kitchen and bathrooms)
• Fridge
• Four trestle tables
• 12 black plastic chairs
• Whiteboard (2.4m x 1.2m)
