Mother's Day

Technically speaking, everyday is Mother's Day at our house.
We live at the women's center and see close to 100 women every week.
They are all either mothers already or soon to be mothers.
Even if we didn't live here in this house and today wasn't Mother's Day I would still be passionate about the women in our program."No tool for development is more effective than the empowerment of women"
- Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General

There is a saying in many parts of Africa:
"If you educate a man, you simply educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation."
When a girl is educated, her income potential increases, maternal and infant mortality are reduced, children are more likely to be immunized, the birth rate decreases, and the percentage of HIV infections is lowered.
Happy Mother's Day!
