Cannock Soroptimists raised £235.00 for the Oxfam Mothers Project at a recent coffee morning. The event was held at the home of Soroptimist June Hardman and everyone enjoyed having the chance to chat and to learn about the project which fits closely with the Soroptimist focus to Educate, Enable and Empower women throughout the world. Soroptimist June is confident that the club will be able to send a cheque for the appeal for £250.00 as she other donations are expected.
By supporting Oxfam’s Mother Appeal, mothers worldwide are being given the lift they need to use their power to change the future. Mothers everywhere want the best for their children. But when every day is a struggle to feed their families, it takes almost superhuman strength to succeed. And yet, the world’s poorest mothers never give up.
When a mother is helped, she will not only lift herself she will lift her family and her community, generation after generation.
The UK Government have promised to match the value of everything donated to the Oxfam Mother ❤ Appeal, doubling the difference being made.
Cannock Soroptimists are always happy to support projects which enable women to improve the lives of themselves and their families.
