ForewordHalimah YacobDirector, NTUC Women’sDevelopment Secretariat (WDS)on 8 March this year, the NTUC Women’s Development Secretariat(WDS) launched the WeCare for U Project. This is a community outreachprogramme to provide support and assistance to single mothers andtheir children, driven by women for women.When we started the project, we set ourselves an outreach target of 500women and children by the end of December 2009. To our surprise, wereached this target within the first six months, reflecting the nationaltrend that there are now more single mothers in our society.Often, single mothers have to walk alone along a long and windingroad. Many suffer in silence as they do not know where to get help orare simply overwhelmed by their situation. Some are even spurned bytheir own families. Getting maintenance from their ex-husbands is alsoan uphill task.
