The Mothers' Union (MU) is a Christian
organisation with more than 3.6 million members worldwide.
The backbone of the MU is its worldwide network of volunteers.
Whatever their individual backgrounds, members are related
by a commitment to marriage and family. They give their
time to generously help others, whether by running local
projects, supporting international campaigns, or fundraising.
The
MU also employs over 300 paid workers around the world.
These are women drawn from local dioceses, so they speak
the language, understand the culture and customs and
have first-hand experience of the problems their neighbours
face. MU workers provide vital leadership for efforts
in the community. They enable people to gain essential
skills, develop and encourage sustainable self-help
projects, and run training seminars for local MU members
and the wider community.
