Message from Platinum Network for Reach Out Single Mums:
“As a single mother of two, it is imperative for me to ensure that my children are happy and
joyful as they are growing up. To be able to provide them with a supportive and nurturing
environment; where we are all living life to its fullest everyday; and to be appreciating all that
life has offered each of us despite the obstacles we faced;
it has definitely been challenging.
It is with these experiences that inspired me to establish the
Platinum Network for Reach Out Single Mums, as we call it.
The vision of “Reach Out Single Mums” is to share, create and explore opportunities
for single mothers out there.
From the opportunity to find a support network in us; to searching for a desired career
opportunity; to harnessing the many collaborations amongst the single mothers;
I sincerely believe that life will only get better and brighter.
So to all the single mothers out there who are seeking an opportunity to enhance
your current lifestyles, we will be delighted to be able to be a part of your journey.
As the famous poet Robert Frost once said, “In three words I can sum up everything I've
learned about life. It goes on.” And here at Reach Out Single Mums, we look forward to be
trudging life’s journey with you as it all goes on.”
Warmest Wishes,
Christie Khoo

Message from Platinum Network for Reach Out Single Mums:
Sustainability
1. With Reach Out Single Mums’ focus on
sharing, creating and exploring opportunities
for single mothers, efforts are channelled to ensure that there is a tangible mode of participation between the single mothers and Reach Out Single Mums’
respective partners.
This way, learnings and experiences are more readily captured by the single mothers.
2. Additionally, Reach Out Single Mums’ comprises of three (03) progressional Platforms that adopt an Individual, Community and
National focus.
Each Platform’s focus is aimed at relating a specific set of experiences to better
equip the single mother before her venture into the next Platform.
3. With a long term view in mind, the creation of jobs or entrepreneurs
amongst the single mothers is to generate positive social and economic multiplier effects in Singapore.
In having single mothers as Mentors to the younger Singaporeans, there
is also a “passing-the-baton” of knowledge and experiences to benefit the younger generations.
