KPWKM Targets 1,500 Single Mothers For KasihnITa 2025 Programme
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) is targeting 1,500 single mothers to take part in the Kasih Ibu Tunggal (KasihnITa) 2025 programme, which is set to begin this August. Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the initiative is designed to equip single mothers with knowledge in legal matters, financial management, and personal development. Introduced in 2023 and now rebranded as KasihnITa, the programme will be held across six main zones nationwide, from Perlis to Sabah. "This year, the Prime Minister approved an allocation of RM1.6 million for its implementation in all six zones. The programme is not limited to divorced women but also includes those abandoned by their husbands or with seriously ill or bedridden spouses. "Many of them struggle to claim alimony or don't know how to get legal assistance, often due to concerns about legal costs," she said after launching KasihnITa 2025 at a hotel here today. Running from August to December, the programme is held in collaboration with the Syariah Lawyers Association of Malaysia, the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK), and psychological experts. Nancy said through KasihnITa, the ministry will implement proactive interventions to provide targeted assistance to single mothers in the process of claiming alimony from their ex-husbands. To ensure accessibility, she encouraged those in need to reach out directly to the ministry or visit its official website. 'It may not be easy for them to travel to specific states, so we've made online access available for information and support,' she added.
