Build your village
before you need it.
Free kits for single mothers by choice, and women still deciding, to start a small circle where you live. Swap babysitting, share advice, and maybe one day share a home.
Free, no sign-up, no app. Your circle runs in the group chat you already use, and keeps going even if this site disappears.
Three ways a village helps
Babysitting swaps
Trade hours instead of money. Sit for someone on Tuesday, get a free evening on Friday. A simple ledger keeps it fair.
Advice circles
A monthly evening for the questions nobody else gets: donors, clinics, sleep, money, and telling your child their story.
Co-living
Two or three families under one roof, sharing rent, meals and bedtime shifts, with mothers you already trust.
Small steps, in this order
Trust grows slowly. Each step has a kit, and each one builds on the last.

Meet 2–3 mothers nearby in a café or playground.
Founding kit →Advice nights
A monthly evening of honest talk.

Join while you're still deciding
Most single mothers by choice spend months, often years, deciding and trying. That's the perfect time to build a village: go to advice nights, babysit for others and bank the hours for after your birth.
Where are you right now?
Every village starts with one message
Send the invite to one mum you know, or one you met in a group online. That's the whole first step.
Village Kits is a toolkit, not a vetting service. Every kit starts with the safety and trust checklist: meet in public first, build trust gradually, and never leave your child with someone you haven't come to know yourself.
