Malta House is the only transitional living program in the state of Connecticut where a mom can stay with her baby for long-term support and a "hand-up" as she journeys to independence and hope. 110 women are receiving homelessness/housing services who are pregnant or parenting between the ages of 18-24.
A young mother comes to Malta House during their most vulnerable stage. Whether it is homelessness, pregnant and lacking support and a positive environment. Donating to the Malta House means a frightened young mother will have the help she needs to choose life for her unborn child. Giving her the opportunity to bring a child into the world in a loving, safe, nurturing environment.
Mothers at Malta House gain financial independence, emotional stability and healthy parenting skills. When the mother thrives, so does her child. The community becomes stronger when its members are stronger.
The Malta House Impact
- Mothers become more resourceful, and more resilient and receive guidance in parenting while providing for their children.
- Young women are encouraged to complete their education, and they’re supported on their career paths.
- Children are safe and thriving as their parents are taught how to measure and improve their child’s development.
- Families gain financial security as they become less dependent on state assistance.
Malta House is the only home for pregnant women above the age of 18 in Fairfield County, and one of a limited number of programs for young homeless mothers and their babies.
MIKU, which means beautiful moment, offers an exquisite menu inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine and accommodates vegan and gluten-free diets. The modern-style restaurant opened in the heart of Greenwich in the spring of 2019.
MIKU's team has donated over $50,000 to local non-profit organizations since it opened in April 2019. "Collaborations like this give us the ability to make an impact in the community and beyond," said MIKU co-owner, K Dong. "Our team enjoys learning about our non-profit partners and sharing that information with our customers. It's been a successful program for us since we launched the campaign in February last year and we're looking to build upon this campaign for 2022 with new ideas".
100% of the proceeds from this curated menu at Miku will benefit Malta House during the month of October.
