Celebrating caregivers around the world 🌷💗

[World Food Program USA.]( Mother's Day can be a difficult day. Please skip this if you need to. As always, thank you for your support. {NAME}, Every year in the United States, we celebrate and thank moms and caregivers on the second Sunday of May. Around the world, there are mothers facing conflict, extreme weather and forced displacement. In humanitarian crises around the world, there are women working tirelessly to keep their children healthy and safe. All mothers and children should have access to good nutrition and education in a safe community. That is why the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) supports over 100 million women and children in more than 120 countries and territories. From nutrition assistance to specialized trainings, we provide mothers with the food, resources and education they need to look after their families. Here are three stories of mothers who protect, care for and feed their families with the help of our programs. Laizu in Bangladesh In northwest Bangladesh where 28-year-old Laizu lives, monsoon floods have become more frequent and more intense. Through a U.N. World Food Programme climate resiliency program, Laizu learned how to farm mushrooms, which grow year-round regardless of rainy or dry seasons. Now, she is financially independent and can afford more food to feed her daughter Kona. [Laizu in Bangladesh with her daughter.]( "With this additional income, I became an earning member of the family. Being the most vital part of the family makes me a part of the decision-making process." Neşe in Türkiye In Türkiye, 37-year-old Neşe and her children receive hot meals from the U.N. World Food Programme at a camp for families displaced by the deadly earthquakes earlier this year. She needs safe housing, food and education for her family. [Neşe in Türkiye with her two daughters.]( "The only thing I am thinking about now is having a home for my children, and their future. My only hope is my children." Helene in the Democratic Republic of Congo Helene is a 21-year-old mother of three children. She suffers from malnutrition which affects her ability to breastfeed her twin babies. Helene enrolled in a U.N. World Food Programme malnutrition treatment program that provides her twins with ready-to-use foods. They now have the strength to sit up for the first time. [Helene in the DRC with her two daughters.]( "Since receiving assistance, there has been a big change in their health, to the point that now they can sit up on their own. Which was impossible before." 💗 Women go to the ends of the earth to feed their families, and their resourcefulness can help entire communities. This Mother's Day, we thank mothers and caregivers who work around the clock to give the world's youth a healthy childhood.
