Helping Homeless Keiki Succeed Since 2003
Our Mommy and Me program was created by Leilani, a neonatal nurse who used her skills
and passion to bring prenatal and early development skills to our mommies and babies.
This program is currently run by our internship programs with students who are studying early childhood education, social work, or nursing.
Mommy and Me
Our Goals
Supporting Healthy Development for Moms and Babies
Our program is designed to equip mothers with nurturing skills that promote their babies' healthy development. We focus on helping babies strengthen both their small and large motor skills, giving them a head start in their learning journey.
In addition to fostering developmental growth, our programs provide a sense of stability and support, alleviating some of the stresses of raising a young child. This partnership offers both mother and child a nurturing environment where they can thrive together.
Our Reasons
Nurturing Early Development for a Brighter Future
Many unsheltered babies lack the basic attention and care necessary for healthy development. As a result, some may struggle with speech and essential toddler skills, which can delay their readiness for school and preschool.
Our program is dedicated to addressing these developmental gaps by focusing on the child's growth while also equipping mothers with the tools and knowledge they need to support their child(ren) in reaching their fullest potential.
Your Kokua Makes a Lasting Impact
Like all of our programs, Mommy and Me is entirely volunteer-staffed, ensuring that every donation goes directly to supporting the needs of the infants. Your generous contribution provides essential supplies, resources, and support to help mothers and babies thrive. Every gift directly aids in the growth and development of these young keiki, giving them a strong foundation for a brighter future.
Our Program
Empowering Hawai'i’s Mothers and Keiki, Free of Charge
Across Oʻahu, we offer weekly workshops and essential supplies to mothers in need, supporting children from birth to age two.
Our workshops provide mothers with practical skills and emotional support, including guidance in baby care, nutrition, and health, along with keiki hula and infant massage. Each participant receives personalized support from our skilled intern leaders, ensuring that every mother and child receives the unique resources they need.
Additionally, we provide diapers, baby essentials, clothing, and other necessary items. Expectant mothers can also enjoy a welcoming baby shower to help them prepare for their baby’s arrival.
