We invite the most vulnerable in the poorest villages and slums to form their own groups and save money together. These women then meet weekly to learn basic skills and practical, lifesaving knowledge to protect and provide for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Working together, they are able to develop the means and confidence to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. We currently have over 900 groups meeting across Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the charity was launching its Mother\u2019s Day gift initiative at this event \u2013 this initiative enabled people to buy a gift of family health lessons, antenatal care or vocational skills training which can help a mum to protect and provide for her children.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/high-wycombe-and-district\/files\/2011\/06\/p1020099cropped-300x255.jpg\" alt=\"Celebrating 100 Years of International Women's Day\" width=\"300\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/high-wycombe-and-district\/files\/2011\/06\/p1020099cropped-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/high-wycombe-and-district\/files\/2011\/06\/p1020099cropped-1024x871.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In poor villages and  slums the voices of mothers are often silenced, their potential overlooked and  their needs forgotten.
