Previous project that HWSKLS members were engaged in:
A year-long project with B40 single mothers with support from Yayasan DayaDiri
Herwellbeing Society Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (HWSKLS) with the support from Yayasan DayaDiri managed a year-long project with B40 single mothers. The goal was to enhance maternal well-being built on health and human capital development. The recruitment process reached women in three PPR homes to approximately 9200 B40 households.
