What are our guiding principles?
-
Every woman should have the opportunity to provide for the basic needs of herself and her family.
-
Women experience unique challenges to success because of their physical attributes, societal prejudices, or traditional roles, as well as responsibilities as mothers or caregivers. These differences can sometimes mean they will have more difficulty moving forward to become self-sufficient and, thus need more community assistance to help them succeed.
-
We believe that by changing the current economic circumstances of mothers, you increase the chances of their children thriving and finding life success as they get older.
-
It is vital to the success of our society that women are provided with the ability to become positive role models and mentors.
-
Ultimately, life happiness for all of us is determined by the millions of meaningful connections we continually make when choosing our positive networks, using our spare time constructively, nurturing our bodies, and the way we act as stewards of our environment.
