Understanding and Addressing the Needs of Single Mothers
At the Mother Teresa Foundation, we firmly believe in empowering single mothers by offering them the resources and guidance needed for a sustainable and independent future. As part of our ongoing efforts, we recently conducted a periodic meeting at our Foundation premises, where our Chairman personally interacted with single mothers who come under our network.





This initiative allowed us to hear their voices, understand their challenges, and work towards bridging the gaps in their journey toward self-sufficiency.
Encouraging Registration with the Tamil Nadu Welfare Board
One of the key takeaways from the meeting was the importance of ensuring that all eligible single mothers register with the Widow and Destitute Women Welfare Board of the Tamil Nadu Government.


✅ Why is this important?
By registering with the Board, single mothers gain access to various government schemes that can provide financial aid, skill development programs, and business opportunities to improve their livelihoods.
✅ How is the Foundation helping?
Our Chairman emphasized the significance of registering and assured them that our Foundation will advocate for their concerns and work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure they receive their rightful benefits.
Single Mothers Express Their Challenges and Needs
During the interactive session, single mothers openly shared their struggles, ranging from financial instability to the lack of educational opportunities for their children.
💬 Some of the common concerns raised included:
✔️ Limited access to government schemes despite eligibility
✔️ Financial hardships in starting small businesses
✔️ Healthcare support for themselves and their children
✔️ The need for continuous skill development to achieve financial independence
Our Chairman attentively listened and assured them of the Foundation’s continued support in addressing these issues.
