Why we exist
Raising a family alone shouldn't mean facing it without support.
Single mothers carry the full weight of earning and caring at once. Many have had their education interrupted, lack access to credit, and struggle to find work that fits around raising their children. Zera Path removes those barriers one by one — so mothers can earn with confidence and raise their children with security.
About us
Our story
Zera Path was founded in [Month Year] in [City] after our founders saw, again and again, the same quiet struggle: mothers raising children on their own, willing to work hard, but shut out of stable income by a lack of skills, capital, connections and confidence.
We started with [a handful of mothers in a single rented room]. Today we run training, enterprise and wellbeing programmes designed around one belief — when a mother is financially secure, her whole family moves forward.
Mission
To equip single mothers with the skills, resources and support they need to build sustainable livelihoods and independent lives.
Vision
A world where no mother has to choose between caring for her children and building a future for them.
Values
Dignity over charity. Listening before acting. Transparency in everything. Sisterhood that lasts beyond any programme.
