Solo Mothers’ Hub Program

Why We Created The Solo Mothers' Hub

Being a mother is tough, but being a solo mother can bring unique and overwhelming challenges. Our founder, Sumaya, understands this profound truth firsthand. After bravely fleeing violence, she found herself not just homeless and exhausted, but facing the immense responsibility of raising three very young children alone including one with a disability. She experienced the incredible isolation, the relentless pressure, and the systemic hurdles unique to single mothers trying to rebuild their lives. Sumaya quickly learned that resilience alone wasn’t enough; comprehensive support and a strong community were essential. This deeply personal journey, marked by tireless advocacy for her family, ignited Sumaya’s powerful resolve. She transformed her struggle into a mission: to ensure no solo mother faces these battles alone

Who We Help

The Solo Mothers’ Hub is dedicated to single mothers and their children who are navigating the complexities of single parenthood, particularly those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) and Muslim communities across Australia. We recognise the unique cultural, linguistic, and systemic barriers that can add extra layers of difficulty to their journey.

We provide comprehensive support, resources, and a nurturing community designed to empower solo mothers:

  • Holistic Support

  • Empowerment Pathways

    Resources and workshops focused on personal growth, skill development, financial literacy, and navigating systems to build confidence and independence.

  • Community & Connection

    A supportive hub where solo mothers can connect, share experiences, reduce isolation, and build lasting friendships and support networks.

  • Child-Centred Resources

    Support and connections to resources that benefit children's well-being and development, ensuring they also thrive.
