The Giving Campaign for Single Mothers aims to empower single mothers in Japan and eliminate discrimination and prejudice against single-parent families. It provides a platform for single moms to share their stories through essay writing, fostering inclusivity by showcasing their diversity through various essays. If you resonate with this cause, we invite you to contribute to our initiative! Your generous donation will make a meaningful impact.

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 seven 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 "Our Lives as Mothers and Children." By reflecting on our lives as they are, with all their challenges and joys, we have worked together to cherish "the time we have right now."
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.
