9. Human Milk 4 Human Babies - Singapore [Page]
Join: Human Milk 4 Human Babies – Singapore
Human Milk 4 Human Babies Singapore started in 2010 as a Singapore chapter to the global community in Canada. Admins Khatim Hamidan and Nabilah Hanim took over in 2013, inspired by cross-nursing practices that developed in the olden days where mums would help breastfeed other mums’ children. Maintaining the community online is a way to continue the tradition during these modern times.
The Page operates on the basis of trust, where donors and recipients of breastmilk can connect to fulfil their demand and supply woes. Often, the milk shared is used for special cases such as to nourish premature babies, babies allergic to formula milk, as well as mothers who might be ill and unable to breastfeed. Besides milk sharing, the community also prides itself on educating and raising awareness among mothers about breastfeeding.
10. SG Mummies United
Join: SG Mummies United
When COVID-19 struck, founder Gidania Wong started to hear stories of many mums who were reeling from its impact, whether it was losing their jobs, experiencing tight finances at home or having trouble finding necessities during the supermarket rush in phase 1. She set up SG Mummies United as a platform for mums to donate items and support one another.
The community now sees an average of 20 posts a day from members requesting or donating essentials. Despite the transactional nature, many mums continue to stay in the Group to support others – for example, a mother and Grab driver was in confinement but used her car to tirelessly deliver items to beneficiaries.
