In our monthly events and weekly workshops, we strive to empower and educate mothers by providing them with valuable information.
We are seeking to focus on learning opportunities that include hands-on tasks, role playing and engaging with guest speakers, art based learning and a connection to nature.
One-On-One Support for Moms
The support is provided both online and in person.

Board of Directors
She received a bachelor's degree in food science from Tehran University. She is married and has a daughter.
She has registered the Organization in 2019.
When she was seventeen, her family had a working family who took care of her family garden. The workers had six children, and the two youngest children (a boy aged six and a girl aged five) both had physical challenges.
Whenever she saw or thought about them, she was devastated.
At that summer , she decided to do something in this regard and consulted the doctors and reserved beds at a hospital, then she paid for a taxi to pick them up with their mother from 200 Km away from home. The surgery was successful and they recovered within one month.
On the other hand, It was around 55 years ago that her mother was a school principal and an orphanage manager. She was also a member of a queen charity at the time. She was a hardworking woman who managed her life from both personal and professional aspects.
As a youth, Maryam had a positive experience with humanity and her mother as a role model, which sparked her interest in a non-profit organization and allowed her to reflect on her accomplishments during her youth.
In 2006, Maryam immigrated to Canada and worked for a kid's education savings plan as part-time employment in a Canadian company for three years. After talking to many mothers, she realized that they needed to have a safe place to gather, grow, and learn together. By gaining knowledge on mom's well-being with the help of some professional moms, she came up with the idea of an organization that would support all moms in a confidential and non-judgmental manner (environment).
In response to the high demand across the country, she registered a non-profit organization with the federal government by the name Empowering Moms & Children Organization (EMCO) to be able to expand and create new opportunities in various cities across Canada for mothers.
The EMCO was established as part of her initiative to make motherhood safer and more positive for all moms.
She seeks to increase moms' and children's capacity to successfully integrate into Canadian society by achieving economic and educational goals while maintaining their heritage and cultural values.
In the future, her mission will be to provide support, information, and education for mothers across all provinces.
