We are excited to launch this year’s Mother’s Day Giving Campaign for Single Mothers.
Through personal essays written by single mothers, this campaign aims to empower single mothers in Japan and challenge discrimination and prejudice against single-parent families. By sharing diverse stories and experiences, we hope to foster greater understanding, connection, and inclusivity.
If this message resonates with you, we warmly invite you to support our initiative. Your generous donation will help us continue creating spaces where single mothers can speak in their own voices and be heard.

Founder, CEO Single Mothers' Sisterhood
Since 2021, Single Mothers Sisterhood has hosted a Giving Campaign for Single Mothers every year. A team of volunteer single mothers comes together to create and publish essays, calling for donations to support our initiative.
The highlight of the campaign is the essays written by single mothers. Both the authors and the editors are single moms. We value the sisterhood and connections formed while creating an essay as a piece of art.
Through exchanges of suggestions and encouragement among the group, their essays have been refined, fostering a powerful solidarity—our sisterhood.
This year's essay theme is "Be yourself." By reflecting on our lives as they are, with all their challenges and joys, we have worked together to honor our authentic selves.
Reading these essays, you will feel the unique value of each individual, reminding us that even within the label "single parent," each person's experience is different. There is not one single story.
We hope you will connect with these authentic voices through the essays.
