Humanitarian Association of Single Mothers (HANSM)

About us

HANSM is the Non-Profit Single Moms and Dads Organization. HANSM is dedicated to providing resources, support and information to all single parents.

Our Mission here is to provide a hub, as you will, that has collectively gathered other web sites, articles, information and support boards, and so much more, for any one looking for single parent information.

We are not just about single mothers or single fathers. We are about people, the family, though broken, still connected to our children. It´s about everyone, mothers, fathers, children, counsellors, lawyers, non-custodial, custodial, shared parents, adult children of divorce, widowed parents. We are about connecting together the resources so that we can make healthy choices.

HANSM works directly and indirectly with women´s and social justice organizations to develop and advance for human rights education relevant to people´s daily lives in the context of their struggles for social and economic justice and democracy.

The organization is dedicated to publishing and disseminating demand driven human rights training materials and teaching materials, and otherwise servicing grassroots and community groups.

We partner with other organizations. Examples include, "Partnership for Children and Adults with Special Needs," with Open Society Foundation Romania, "Humanitarian Concert "Ending Violence against Children," with Macedonian singers, and "A Chance for Democracy or Something Else," with OSI Macedonia.

Apostolova Ruzica is the Director of the organization.

For other net participants we can offer overnight facilities. Further we can give an expert guidance through trained staff in the field of our work.
