Celebrate Mother’s Day
On this Mother’s Day we ask that you spare a thought for the millions of unsung mothers worldwide that die during childbirth, suffer violence at the hands of a partner, or are forced into prostitution. That is why ChildHope works to not only protect children but also to support their mothers to realise their rights. For example our work in Sierra Leone; which since 2004 has helped over 500 young girls, who are mothers, to realise their rights both as mothers and as girls.
