Stop poverty 2025
In Slovakia, approximately 360,000 single-parent families are raising more than 500,000 children. A staggering 84% of these households are led by women. Alarmingly, HALF of all single-parent households—home to around 250,000 children—are at risk of poverty, surviving on just €5.50 per day for food.
This is a fact. Single parents often face more challenging living and working conditions compared to two-parent families, making them vulnerable not only socially and economically but also in terms of employment and mental well-being. The biggest challenge of poverty is that once a family falls into it, escaping becomes extremely difficult, and many remain trapped in it.
Our mission is to support single parents during this difficult PERIOD and work with them holistically to help them regain stability and independence. Through our 12-month programme, we provide comprehensive support to members of single-parent households—guiding them and offering professional, humanitarian, and food assistance, which is often essential at the beginning of our work with a family.
Thanks to you—people who care about the situation of parents and children in single-parent families—we have been able to acquire new utility vehicles, allowing us to transport more food to even the most remote regions. However, to keep them running, we need your support to cover annual operational costs, including salaries for single parents working with us and fuel expenses.
Help us with food deliveries in 2025! Any amount you choose to donate will contribute to providing single-parent families with guidance, education, professional counselling, and material aid. Please support single parents in their efforts to build a better life!
We help one-parent families
JEDEN RODIČ n.o. supports families where only one parent is present when raising children.
Through professional and humanitarian aid, we help single parents and their children in one-parent households. There is much more missing in these families than just a second income. Whether it is education, taking care of the household or supporting the family, parents are completely alone. In addition, some of them do not even have a regular income because they are discriminated against in the labor market.
The long-term neglect of one-parent households, combined with the current economic situation, caused even greater isolation of the Slovak single-parents and put them in endangered situation.
