Mothers of the Nation are mothers who also felt the pain of not able to pay their children school fees. We know the pain of a child going to school without lunch box. We know the pain of them returning from school without finding food at home.
There is an African proverb that says: “A woman holds the knife where it is sharp” which simply implies that; a woman faces life’s problems and challenges head-on regardless of any situation.
Mothers of the nation Foundation was established as a result of the realization of the poor socio-economic conditions that are ravaging the South African’s previously disadvantaged communities and in particular, Black children who continuously and on daily basis are experiencing poverty, hunger, lack of recreational facilities that will take them off the streets and a host of other social ills that they find themselves exposed to and in this case; substance abuse comes into the picture.
