About Mothers Union

By supporting marriage and family life, especially through times of adversity, we tackle the most urgent needs challenging relationships and communities.

Our members are not all mothers, nor all women. They are single, married, parents, grandparents, additionally they are young adults just beginning to express their social conscience.

For all 4 million worldwide members what Mothers' Union provides is a network through which they can serve Christ in their own community - through prayer, financial support and actively working at the grassroots level in programmes that meet local needs.
