Two inspiring young women, moved by a tragic occurrence to start their own challenging venture, are launching an exciting and much-needed portal for working mothers in Malaysia.

Anna Ariffin and Nadiah Noor have drawn on their own experiences as both working mothers and stay-at-home mums to create an online child-care rating service for working mothers nation-wide and to provide an advocacy platform demanding more flexibility for working mums and a more family-friendly workplace.
