QUOTES

Empowering women is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty.

when women have a voice in their homes, communities and nations, everyone benefits.

As a mother of two children, I am personally moved to help women and mothers worldwide

Ordinary people like you and me have the chance to make a tremendous difference for mothers and their children worldwide

I believe, like I'm sure you do, that in today's world it is unacceptable for mothers to die from simple pregnancy-related complications - like lack of hygienic medical instruments, lack of access to modern contraception, or the absence of trained and knowledgeable birth attendants.

You and I have a real chance to see extreme poverty cut by half in our lifetimes. Please stand with me to uphold the world's promise to help women and families living in extreme poverty.
