How Your Mother’s Day Charity Gift Can Change a Life

Hanen Musa

Mother’s Day is a time to honor the women who raised us. But around the world, not every mother has what she needs to care for her family. In impoverished communities, moms are struggling to survive. 

This Mother’s Day, your charity gift can help a mom in crisis get the care, nutrition, and dignity she deserves. 

When is Mother's Day 2025?  

Mother’s Day this year is Sunday, May 11. It's a time to honor the mothers in our lives and all around the world.  

From warm meals to quiet support, mothers create comfort even in times of crisis. Mothers are our modern-day superheroes who will give anything to provide for and protect their children.  

But what happens to mothers who have nothing left to give? 

Mothers in impoverished communities, or conflict zones struggle to feed, clothe, and protect their children, making your Mother’s Day charity gift more powerful. 

💙This Mother’s Day, your gift can bring comfort to a mom in crisis. 

What is the Best Charity Gift for Mothers  

Mothers give everything with love, compassion, and no expectation of return. But around the world, many moms are giving everything without having enough themselves. This Mother’s Day, a charity gift in her name can bring real help to those still struggling. 

Through the MotherKind campaign, your Mother’s Day charity gift can support mothers, widows, and women raising families alone. It's a meaningful way to honor your mom by helping another who needs it most. 

What Is Motherkind Campaign  

Muslim Hands USA is on the ground delivering care through our MotherKind health clinics. Your support provides tools and resources to help expectant mothers deliver safely and raise healthy children.  

What makes our clinics different is that we don’t just provide treatment and leave. We stay to guide and educate mothers, offering them nutritional support, maternal education, and vaccinations for children against preventable diseases. 

When you gift through the MotherKind campaign you walk with mothers through some of the hardest moments of their lives, ensuring no woman faces childbirth or motherhood alone. 

The MotherKind campaign delivers lasting impact by providing: 

  • Skilled maternal care before, during, and after childbirth 
  • Vaccinations to protect children from preventable diseases 
  • Nutritional education to help mothers stay healthy 
  • Compassionate, dignified support every step of the way 

💙 Support Mothers from Around the World 

Why Help Mothers in Crisis This Mother’s Day? 

In the developing world, motherhood comes with a weight few can imagine. For many women, pregnancy and childbirth are not moments of joy, but of fear where poverty, poor nutrition, and lack of medical care create dangerous conditions for both mother and child. 

Most complications that arise during pregnancy and delivery are preventable.  

Yet, for women in high-risk communities, access to even basic care is limited or nonexistent. Health conditions that go untreated before pregnancy often worsen, increasing the risks. 

The result? 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), preventable issues like excessive bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, and delivery complications cause more than 87% of maternal deaths.  

The tragedy is that all these struggles can be avoided with proper medical care  

Can I Give Zakat to Help Mothers in Need? 

Yes. Supporting mothers through the MotherKind campaign may be eligible for Zakat, especially when your donation provides life-saving aid like medical care, nutrition, and essential support for mothers in extreme poverty. 

If you're unsure, consult your local scholar and visit our Zakat Calculator to determine your amount.

This Mother's Day, Share Mercy with a Mother in Need 

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, Heaven lies at the feet of your mother.” 

This Hadith reminds us just how sacred a mother’s role is in Islam—and how deeply her care is valued. 

Whether you’re remembering your own mother, honoring a mother figure, or simply giving in her name, your charity gift can bring real relief to a woman facing motherhood with little more than faith and courage. 

Your support through the MotherKind campaign delivers dignity, nutrition, and critical care, turning your love for one mother into mercy for another.
