Our Story
Khotouwat was founded by two sisters, Maya and Nour, who share a passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of parenthood.
Through years of working closely with parents, mothers, and children, we witnessed firsthand the challenges families face—from pregnancy and breastfeeding to the everyday realities of raising confident, healthy children. Inspired by these experiences, we pursued specialized training and professional certifications to provide evidence-based guidance and compassionate support.
Today, we have combined our expertise to create Khotouwat, a space where families can find trusted support, practical tools, and personalized guidance every step of the way.
At Khotouwat, we prepare and support families through pregnancy, breastfeeding, parenting, and child development. Our mission is to empower families across the Middle East to thrive, grow with confidence, and Parent With Love.
