Louisamay Hanrahan, an established tech entrepreneur and a Mum, spotted an opportunity during the pandemic to start a group called ‘Lets Match Mums’ who circulate stories about the refugee experience in Ireland.

Let’s Match Mums creates a channel by matching local mums with mums in Direct Provision who have children aged between six months and a year. The group host a pioneering tech platform that is revolutionising the distribution and circularisation of children’s goods. Let’s Match Mums are making a significant social impact by leading the way in the #GivingEconomy & #circulareconomy and promoting sustainable consumption.

They are achieving their social impact across several categories including circular, climate and the emotional and well-being. It is also about the prevention of isolation for all mothers in Ireland by building pathways for families to create lasting connections, help new arrivals navigate Ireland, and create social cohesion and a better future for all our children. We have high hopes for Louisamay as we need social enterprises like this that can marry tech initiatives with practical solutions.

Lets Match Mums solves enormous and life-changing social impacts by facilitating meaningful connections and supporting daily interactions among individuals in their journey through parenthood.
