Show Her That She Was Right This Mother's Day

Help women around the world this Mother's Day by donating a suggested minimum of $25 to UNIFEM. Your mother will receive a beautiful Mothers' Day card in your name and you'll receive a charitable receipt and the good feeling that comes from making the world a better place.

The card reads, "Dear Mom, You taught me right from wrong, which star to wish upon, that I can be whatever I want to be, and to care about other people - not just myself. This year instead of the gifts I usually give you on Mother's Day I've made a donation in your name to the United Nations Development Fund for Women, so they can help mothers all over the world do as good a job as you did. I love you."

Please call UNIFEM at 1.866.780.4260 from 12 pm - 8 pm UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMEN - CANADA
Suite 300 - 309 Cooper Street, Ottawa Ontario, K2P 0G5

At the heart of UNIFEM Canada's work is our financial support of programs that strengthen women's economic capacity, give women a real say in governance and leadership and also promotes women's human rights by working to eliminate all forms of violence against women. Projects include: aid for the millions of women and girls afflicted with HIV/AIDS, training workshops on gender-based human rights and speaking out on the plight of women and girls who are victims of rape and enslavement in civil conflicts.

Also, if the card says that the person made a donation in his or her mother's name, why is it that the person receives the receipt for income tax purposes. Shouldn't the mother receive it?
