Dear Friend,

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of mothers everywhere. Thanks to your support, mothers in some of the most marginalized communities are creating pathways out of extreme poverty for themselves and their families — and sometimes even for other families too.

We’re excited to share a powerful story of a mother in Rumonge diocese in Burundi who, through learning literacy, was able to bless her children with an education and join together with a group of women in her community to multiply that blessing.
