Mothers are so important in the fight against poverty and preventable disease. That’s because when women rise out of poverty, they are more likely to take their families, communities, and even whole countries with them. That’s why, here at ONE, we think that every day should be Mother’s Day! So we’ve captured pics from Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana of some of the sweetest moments of motherhood:
