There are women around the world for whom feeding and educating their children, as well as themselves, is an ongoing struggle. An illiterate mother has a more difficult time caring for her family, because, in addition to her own limitations, there are many who recognize and prey on her vulnerability, cheating her out of the little she can earn. A literate mother reads to her children and can help them with their studies, meeting their potential, improving their opportunities and those for the family. By investing in women’s education and entrepreneurship, in protecting their legal rights and protecting many from abusive intimate partners, the MurthyNAYAK Foundation works with some excellent organizations that are making a difference. By helping women, we help families, and by helping families we provide hope. Providing hope helps in building the future, not just for some people – for everyone.
