Baiwago Celebrates Motherhood with 80 Mothers and Single Moms
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 15th May 2019
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 80 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 80 mothers and single moms in Sentul. Total
100 Cakes given away to all 80 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 from Baiwago
Plus Cafe 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
sustainable partnership with corporate companies such as Baiwago Plus Café to
create a greater social impact for our communities,” said Katy. Public are
welcomed to sign up as a volunteer to support the organization through their
website: www.hopeww.org.my.
