In the United States, 1 in 4 children under the age of 18 are being raised by a single mother.

Being a single mother is difficult, period. A mother always wants to provide the best for their children but not having enough opportunities makes succeeding a daunting task.

In fact, more than 80% of single parent families were headed by single mothers. And in 2016 almost a third of single mothers were jobless the entire year.

Women experience higher rates of poverty because they are more likely to be under-compensated, over-represented in low-wage jobs, and more likely to do unpaid caregiving work.

Reducing poverty for women will require us to invest in support systems, employment initiatives, and most importantly, education.

 Education Holds the Power to Transform Women’s Lives

The benefits of education are endless, having an educated parent means higher household income, better academic outcomes for their children, and a more stable household. Mothers are our children's learning model, they inspire and show how to take charge of their own educational journey.
