The pandemic was a catalyst for the setting up of Ibu Sepanjang Hayat, which hopes to be a support network and connect Malay/Muslim mothers through shared cultural and religious experiences. The co-founders were also inspired by sessions conducted by Mums for Life.
"We thought it was timely... As Malay/Muslim mothers, we can better understand our community and its needs," Madam Rahayu said. "Sometimes, as mothers, we forget to take care of ourselves... but you can't pour from an empty cup," added the mother of five children, who is also a certified parenting coach.Said Madam Nafisah, a coach and trainer:"We came up with a mission where we believe that mothers who lead purposeful and meaningful lives with a strong inner resilience will be able to better connect with their children and eventually lead a family that is empowered.
The group's launch was part of Mum's Day Out, a day-long celebration at the National Museum organised by Mums for Life and Families for Life. Ms Sun, a mother of two, took part in craft activities at the celebration, alongside around 400 families who attended the event over the course of the day.
