What we do
The core of positive change starts with a healthy mind and body. DSMF understands the trauma single mothers go through as a result of losing their loved ones naturally or physically. Single mothers are highly affected by depression, anxiety and fear and they need a lot of support to gain momentum. The urgency to regain a companion, fear to be judged by societies has exposed single mothers to acquire sexually transmitted diseases like HIV as well as getting more children with out fathers’ support. In this program DSMF creates awareness and educates single mother through workshops and health awareness events the prognosis of sexually transmitted diseases, family planning, reproductive health, diet and importance of exercises. DSMF fitness has been designed to encourage single mothers to get into culture of exercise for relaxation, boost moods and improve sleep. Single mothers meet every Saturday mornings for group exercises led by a physical fitness trainer. DSMF conducts child nutrition, hygiene and sanitation improvement events in local communities aiming at enhancing the wellbeing of single mothers and their children. Dorah Single Mothers Foundation partners with fitness centers to bargain a discounted rate for single mothers.
