Our needs
Hajah Kamariah runs this home with her own resources. Although public donation do comes in, however it is not on regular basis and it is always barely sufficient. For this reason, sometimes the daily meal is only rice with black soya sauce. In order to make additional income, the single mothers make cookies for sale. For the fortunate some, they manage to hold a job. The single mothers that have registered themselves with PBM do receive some small amount of allowance monthly.
