Kudumbashree Thrissur District Mission comes up with the novel idea of Single Mother Forum. Mothers who lose the father of their children in the blink of an eye due to illness or accident or who have to take full responsibility of the child born in the womb. Kudumbashree Thrissur District Mission is spreading the love of the community to the isolation of such mothers who have no support in their lives through the concept of Single Mother Forum.
Kudumbashree Thrissur District Mission has now started implementing this concept through Model Gender Resource Centres. The Single Mother Forum is a group of mothers who are single mothers who are widowed or single. Mothers of children below 18 years of age are included in this forum. Around 100 mothers participated in the Single Mother Forums organized in five panchayaths namely Kuzhur, Mullassery, Perinjanam, Kadukutty and Arimbur during the month of March. They shared all the challenges, difficulties and neglects they faced in their lives in the forum.
The objectives of 'Single Mother Forum' include providing psychological support to these mothers, provide livelihood opportunities under the guidance of Kudumbashree, guide the children in job related ways after education, introduce advanced technology, extend support for starting individual and group enterprises, introduce various projects implemented by Kudumbashree and help secure its benefits, introduce the services of Snehitha and GRCs. Discussions were also held to include various projects for them in the women's component scheme with the support of the panchayath. Kudumbashree Thrissur District Mission aims to form a Single Mother Forum in all panchayaths of the district.
