Women Of Action Launches Alternative Gifts For Mother's Day

HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, March 25, 2011

How about sending a life-changing gift this Mother's day? A gift which will help some of the poorest mothers across Bangladesh. Women of Action are launching three alternative gifts empowering Bangladeshi Mums to lift their children out of poverty. This gift can be personally dedicated to your own Mum or another special woman in your life this Mother's day as a celebration of motherhood. You will receive a beautiful card sharing the difference your support has made, bringing hope and dignity to mothers and children in desperate need. A unique way to recognise how much your own mum means to you.

In poor villages and slums throughout Bangladesh the voices of mothers are often silenced, their potential overlooked and their needs forgotten. Yet they hold the hope for their children's future. Empowering mothers is key to promoting health, education and prosperity- a key to ending poverty. We believe mothers make the difference. This is why our life-changing gifts are enabling disadvantaged mums to discover their potential. By giving family health lessons, antenatal care or vocational skills training you can help a mum to protect and provide for her children.

Gifts can be purchased directly via our website. To select the gifts and to find out more visit: http://www.womenofaction.co.uk/alt_mothers_day_gifts.html

About Women of Action
Across the floodplains of Bangladesh we are empowering disadvantaged girls and women to discover their potential, restore their dignity and transform their own communities. Previously overlooked women are rising up as small business owners and influential community leaders. Lifting themselves and their vulnerable children out of poverty, they are now a hope for the future.

After living overshadowed by shame and fear, our small groups are providing a safe and supportive environment for women to realise their value and potential. At local weekly meetings group members save their own money together, discuss their values and legal rights, and develop practical skills and lifesaving knowledge to protect and provide for their families. Women of Action is an initiative of Fh, a Christian relief and development charity. With over 30 years experience we are already helping over 13,000 of the most disadvantaged families across Bangladesh.
