GlobalGiving Highlight of the Week: Mothers

GLOBALGIVING HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK: MOTHERS

Women’s untapped potential is great — they make up half of the world’s population, yet earn just 10 percent of the world’s income. When women have control over their incomes, they invest in the health, education and well-being of their families. They also tend to reach out to propel other women forward, creating a powerful multiplier effect that benefits all of society. When we help women and mothers, that help grows exponentially as they pass it on to those closest to them.

So this Mother's Day, let's maximize the difference we can make by helping out those mothers in need. Here are five GlobalGiving projects that focus their aid on mothers around the world.  Give a little and it will help a lot.
