Single Mothers Financial Support Initiative
Direct financial support that helps single mothers move from surviving to planning ahead.
In August 2025, ProudToBeMe returned to the Logun Logun community to follow up on our Easter Bootcamp for single mothers. Building on the trust we had earned, we gave 35 single mothers ₦50,000 each to ease immediate pressure and strengthen their independence.

About the programme
Continuing the support we started at Easter
In April 2025, we ran an Easter Bootcamp for single mothers in Logun Logun. When we returned in August, we wanted to turn the confidence built at the bootcamp into real financial progress.
By meeting urgent financial needs, we helped mothers focus on personal growth, emotional well-being and longer-term plans for themselves and their families.
- Provide immediate financial support to ease economic hardship
- Reinforce self-confidence and motivation to become financially independent
- Stay engaged with single mothers in the community
- Build on earlier empowerment programmes for continuity of support

In their words
What the mothers told us
“
Before this support, my business was very small. I could only buy a few items at a time, and the profit was not enough for my children’s needs. With this help, I bought more goods, and now I sell better. I feel more relieved as a mother.
Mary Jacob, Trader
“
I didn’t have enough materials before, and I lost sewing jobs. With this support, I bought tailoring materials, and now I can take on more work.

Help single mothers build lasting livelihoods
