“Your mother. Your mother. Your mother. And then, your father.”

These are the famous words uttered by our Prophet (S) about who to give your utmost love, respect, and kindness to. A mother. Three times. One parent.

These are the famous words uttered by our Prophet (S) about who to give your utmost love, respect, and kindness to. A mother. Three times. One parent.

And this is coming from a man who was raised by a single mother for the crucial beginnings of his childhood. And what a giant of a man he became. Peace be upon him. 

At OneParent, we believe the power of caring parents revolutionizes a child’s life and empowers them, even if there is only one. A single parent can make a huge difference in the life of a child in ways we could not possibly imagine. 

But they need our help to support them.

It takes a village to raise a child. And that is a lot of pressure for a single set of shoulders to bear, no matter how strong those shoulders are.

It takes a village to raise a child. And that is a lot of pressure for a single set of shoulders to bear, no matter how strong those shoulders are.

Worldwide, the United Nations states that single parents make up an average of 24% of households, globally. 

That means almost a quarter of the world’s children are raised by a single income, a single supporter, a single mentor, a single guide.

At OneParent, we strive to become a village for these single parents. A hub of support, resources, funding, and a community of mentors. Let’s be a village - and stand shoulder to shoulder to help these single parents raise the next generation of leaders.

Imagine scraping pennies, wondering how to build your child’s dreams while also making sure there is food on the table.

Imagine scraping pennies, wondering how to build your child’s dreams while also making sure there is food on the table.

No parent should have to feel that stress. But unfortunately, many parents do. Especially single parents. 

Financial stability is difficult for a single income household, especially since the pandemic. According to Marripedia, only 25 percent of single-mother families have savings exceeding $3,500. 50 percent have either no wealth or are in debt. 

Let’s join in unity and be there for these mothers, for these fathers. For these children.

It is tough to be alone, raising children for whom you have the highest hopes for. It can feel hopeless at times.

320 million children are growing up in 
single-parent families.
320 million potential future leaders, teachers, engineers, doctors, and promising 
members of society.
But it depends on whether they are given the opportunities to help make those dreams a reality. Without proper support or funding, children raised by single mothers are more likely to face more obstacles when it comes to their school achievements, social and emotional development, and their health. 

We need to change this.
 OneParent will help pave the way for these children by giving single parents the support and resources they need. We want single parents to know that we are here to help. We want them to know: You are not alone. 

These 320 million children are our responsibility.

Children who come from single parent households have the potential to thrive, overcome, and become resilient. Independent. Capable. Brilliant.

Just look at some of the great leaders in our own history. Isa (A). Imam Shafee. Imam Bukhari. Imam Ibn Hanbal. Malcolm X. And of course, our Prophet (S). They rose from the ashes and became the greatest in history. Legends.

Let’s help our future generations become the leaders they were born to be. Everything creates a ripple effect. Secure children become empowered adults who raise secure children who become empowered adults. And that security is the responsibility of the community, of the village - of the ummah. 

By joining OneParent, we can ensure that each child can have the opportunities to paint their canvas of hope and have a fulfilling life. Born to thrive, shine, and rise above.
