The booklet is published in both English and Bahasa Malaysia and is a guide for single pregnant women in all matters related to pregnancy, from their options to the pregnancy process. It also lists organizations that can help women who are going through single pregnancies. This booklet will be handed out to various NGOs, increasing the probability that more people, especially women, will have access to this valuable information.
