Happy Mother's Day to Women Everywhere!
In the United States, Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 14,
2017. More than 90 countries will be celebrating Mother’s Day this week,
including many countries where the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
works. We take this opportunity to celebrate mothers everywhere and the
invaluable role that healthy
mothers play in families, communities, and economies.
USAID
works to improve the health and wellbeing of mothers around the globe. USAID
programs enable women to plan when and how many children to have, support
quality care during delivery, and reach mothers with appropriate services and
information to raise healthy families. Our programs have saved the lives of
200,000 women since 2008. This week, we will celebrate the success stories of
mothers living in communities around the world where USAID works. Happy and
healthy Mother’s Day to women everywhere!
