Mothers’ Union

Mothers’ Union is an international Christian membership charity that aims at demonstrating the Christian faith in action through the transformation of communities worldwide; working towards promoting stable marriage, family life and the protection of children through praying, enabling and campaigning.

This organ is firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos centered on mutual respect and collaboration. Its governance, leadership and programs are undertaken and driven by members within their own communities worldwide.
