Baiwago Plus Cafe Celebrates Motherhood with 50 Mothers and Single Moms

Baiwago Plus Café x HOPE worldwide Malaysia

“Mother’s Day Give Back”

While we celebrate Mother’s Day with our moms by showering them with flowers, gifts and a Cake, there are mothers out there who do not have plenty to celebrate. This year, Baiwago Plus Café collaborates with HOPE worldwide Malaysia to celebrate Motherhood with 50 mothers which include single mothers from the low-income families in Sentul.

To make ends meet, these mothers often hold on to at least two jobs, while juggling their time to take care of their children and household matters. Hence, Baiwago Plus Café decided to collaborate with HOPE worldwide Malaysia, an internationally affiliated non-profit and non-religious Charity Organization to reach out to 50 mothers and single moms in Sentul. Total of 50 Cakes will be given away to all 50 mothers. These Mother’s Day Themed Cakes are specially made and sponsored by Baiwago as a gesture of appreciation to the mothers.

The mothers and staff volunteers gathered at Centre of HOPE worldwide Malaysia this afternoon for the Give Back event. “We are grateful towards Baiwago’s thoughtfulness in organizing this event to appreciate our mothers and single moms from the Sentul community. Their sacrifices and motherhood are something worth celebrated for,” said Katy Lee, the Executive Director of HOPE worldwide Malaysia. She added on that some of these mothers often work overtime to support the family finances and raising up their children tirelessly. Katy also shared about one of the mothers, Puan Haliza who lost her husband in a sudden tragedy three years ago, despite her grief and sadness, still being the pillar of strength for her 5 children, one of which is a special needs child who suffers from cerebral palsy.

Besides supporting these mothers through the Free Medical Clinic and Monthly Food Distribution Program, the children of these mothers also invited to attend a series of Education programs on Saturdays. HOPE worldwide Malaysia worked with volunteers from corporate sectors and campuses to reach out to these children aged from 6 to 17 years old. “We hope that we can cultivate a sustainable partnership with corporate companies such as Baiwago Plus Café to create a greater social impact for our communities,” said Katy. The public is welcomed to sign up as a volunteer to support the organization through their website: www.hopeww.org.my.

Stepping into the 8th year as a CSR Partner, this year, Mary Kay Malaysia decided to give a Head-To-Toe Makeover for 9 Single Mothers.

These Single Parent strive above difficulties and hardships to raise their children. Despite the limitations and challenges, they have never back down. So we decided to give a Day of Pampering and Relaxation to encourage these mothers. Ultimately, we want to make these mothers to feel being Loved, Appreciated and Valued.

Madam Christina, one of the mothers who was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year is undergoing Chemotherapy now. She was so happy for being invited to this makeover session. Due to the chemotherapy, she lost all her hair. "Thanks for making me feeling beautiful again!" said Christina with much gratitude.

To raise a family, as a Single parent, the burden is excruciatingly heavy. Often time, these mothers have to sacrifice their needs and wishes for their children. They worked so hard night and day, some of them even took up two jobs in a day.

Thanks to Mary Kay for your thoughtfulness in organizing this makeover session. Besides, Mary Kay Malaysia also pledge a donation of RM 30,000.00 to us through the Pink Changing Lives CSR Campaign, as to sustain the implementation of our community programs in three core areas - Health, Food and Education.
