PPB congratulates the second batch of eight single mothers who completed their training programme in baking in December 2021 under SUPERMUM. The training programme which started in March 2021 was halted due to the MCOs and recommenced in October when the MCO was lifted. The mothers received corporate orders for the festive season immediately after completion of their training, giving them first-hand experience in baking large orders of cookies.

PPB collaborated with the Rotary Club of Petaling Jaya (RCPJ) in 2020 together with a contractor, Food Aid Foundation, to equip single mothers with baking skills under SUPERMUM. PPB contributed baking equipment and paid for renovations to set up a baking studio at the Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya premises in Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya, as well as transportation allowances to each trainee who completed the training programme. The first batch of 10 single mothers completed their 10-week programme in September 2020.

SUPERMUM is part of PPB’s “Baking a Better Future” project started in 2019 to provide vulnerable persons with baking skills for entrepreneurship or employment by setting up baking studios and supporting their training needs.
