Financial Literacy Changes Everything

This is how we empower single-parent households

PHYSICAL HEALTH

When financial stress takes over a single mother’s life they feel so ill that they are unable to eat. With the stress related to work and the need to bring in extra money leading to exhaustion, many single mothers begin feeling run down which results in their psychological wellbeing being affected.

CRISIS

Single parents go into a crisis state when they feel overwhelmed sorting out bills, understanding tax-credits, taking care of the house and caring for the children. Feelings of entrapment, desperation and being unable to get out of their current poverty state can led to suicidal thoughts.

POVERTY

A single mother trying to run a household is five times more likely to live in poverty than a family helmed by a married couple. We help single mother households gain the knowledge needed to persevere including tax experts who specialize in EITC (earned income tax credit).

TEACH THE CHILDREN

Not only is financial education the best way to break the debt cycle, but it’s also a way for single mothers to bond with their children while learning about healthy money habits. Investing, banking, negotiation, saving, giving and healthy spending habits are all part of our programs.
