We are two childhood friends, raised on the same streets, shaped by the same culture, and bound not just by memories, but by shared struggles. Life, however, took us down unexpected roads — both of us becoming single mothers in a society where this path is often paved with silence, judgment, and isolation.
In Pakistan, single parenthood — especially for mothers — is not just a personal journey; it’s a social battle. We have faced the whispers, the unsolicited advice, the job rejections, the raised eyebrows at school gates, and the subtle exclusions at family dinners. We have stood alone in courtrooms and in hospital waiting rooms, navigated careers while raising children singlehandedly, and had to be both mother and father — not because we chose this path,but because we chose not to give up.    Through the years, we leaned on each other — for emotional support, child care tips, job leads, and sometimes just to remind ourselves that we weren’t crazy for wanting to build a life of dignity and hope. That bond became our lifeline.
And then, one day, we asked: What if we could be this lifeline for others too?
That question gave birth to Single Parent Hub — a safe space, a support network, and a movement. Our mission is to break the silence and stigma around single parenthood in Pakistan. We aim to empower single parents — mothers and fathers — by providing emotional support, legal and professional guidance, childcare resources, community events, and most importantly, a sense of belonging. At Single Parent Hub, we believe that no one should have to face this journey alone. We believe in rewriting the narrative — from struggle to strength, from shame to pride, from isolation to community.
This isn’t just our story — it’s the story of thousands. And together, we will make sure it’s heard.
