This Mother’s Day, celebrate the mothers who’ve shaped your heart by supporting mothers who are fighting for theirs.
 

Every Mother Deserves a Chance

 
The mothers in our Elsabet Initiative face challenges most of us can’t imagine. They live in poverty, struggle with malnutrition, and have limited access to medical care during pregnancy and childbirth. Yet they show up every single day with courage and love that mirrors the mothers we celebrate in our own lives.
 
 
In many communities in Ethiopia’s Sidama region, pregnancy is dangerous. Without proper medical care, nutrition support, or prenatal monitoring, both mother and baby are at risk. Complications that would be routine to treat in the US can become life-threatening. Malnutrition weakens mothers’ bodies. Limited access to healthcare means infections go untreated and warning signs go unnoticed.
 
This is where the Elsabet Initiative steps in.

What the Elsabet Initiative Does

 

Since 2016, we’ve supported over 875 vulnerable mothers through the Elsabet Initiative. We provide:
 
 
  • Medical care during pregnancy and delivery – Partnering with local clinics to ensure mothers receive prenatal care and safe delivery support
  • Nutrition support – Providing food and nutritional resources to combat malnutrition during pregnancy
  • Livestock and economic support – Giving mothers cattle so they can build family stability and reduce poverty
  • Training and mentorship – Equipping mothers with knowledge about healthy pregnancies and newborn care

This Mother’s Day, Give in Honor

This year, we’re inviting you to celebrate the mothers you love by supporting the mothers we serve. When you donate to the Elsabet Initiative this Mother’s Day, you’re giving vulnerable mothers in Ethiopia the care, nutrition, and hope they desperately need.
 
When you donate in honor of your mom, your grandmother, or any mother figure who’s shaped your life, we’ll send them a personalized email letting them know about your gift. They’ll receive a heartfelt message explaining how their honor gift is bringing hope to mothers in Ethiopia.
 
It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the mothers you love while making a real difference in the lives of mothers halfway around the world.
