Mothers’ Clubs are groups of women who work together on projects to improve the communities where they live. They identify children vulnerable to dropping out of school, work with families to address challenges, and provide support to teachers.
CAUSE Canada has long partnered with Mothers’ Clubs in rural Sierra Leone to help women access health services, build small businesses, and send their children to school.
When a mother thrives, her family thrives, and so does her community. Supporting mothers is one of the highest-impact investments we can make.
Jeneba is a 38-year-old mother of six living in Sarakoh, a mountainous, rural region of northern Sierra Leone. Ever since her husband passed away 15 years ago, life has been a continual struggle.
“Over the years, I have struggled persistently to raise my children. I could only provide one meal that did not contain the nutrients they needed.”
Her children would arrive at school late and hungry, and Jeneba feared they would have to drop out entirely. That changed when she joined a CAUSE Canada Mothers’ Club in her community. In Sarakoh, the Mothers’ Club works alongside local farmers to run a school feeding program, preparing nutritious meals that nourish not only appetites, but the dreams of an entire community.
“I am one of the happiest Mothers’ Club members. I want to thank my fellow women who use their precious time to prepare these meals.”
Today, Jeneba’s children are healthy and hopeful. Through tears of joy, she said:
“I extend my sincere appreciation to the donors and CAUSE Canada for their relentless efforts.”
A mother now has hope, knowing her children will have every opportunity to reach their full potential, thanks to generous supporters like you.
In Canada, it is uncommon for women to die from pregnancy or childbirth. In many places, though, pregnancy and childbirth are more dangerous than they should be. The loss of a mother is devastating, families lose their income, children lose their caregiver, many are forced to leave school, and the cycle of poverty can take hold.
Since 2000, Sierra Leone has made significant progress in reducing maternal mortality. Yet a woman in Sierra Leone is nearly 100 times more likely to die from maternal causes over her lifetime than a woman in Canada. It’s simply not right.
At CAUSE Canada, supporting women and girls is central to every program we run. We work to improve maternal and reproductive health services, and end child marriage, by increasing access to care, sharing knowledge, and supporting mothers to keep their daughters in school. We also help women build the economic strength they need to care for their families.
Investing in a mother is one of the highest-impact investments anyone can make.
Every action, big or small, helps more mothers like Jeneba access the care, knowledge, and community they deserve.
Each box is filled with over $120 worth of hand-picked, everyday luxuries from female-led Canadian small businesses. 100% of proceeds support Mothers’ Clubs in Sierra Leone.
