Mission
Our mission is to preserve the oral histories of displaced single mothers and female-headed households living in active displacement (refugee and IDP settings) and translate testimony into research, education, and country-based work that improves protection, gender equality, and program design.
Vision
We envision a world where displaced single mothers are heard, their histories are protected, and their voices shape the programs and policies meant to serve them.
