Children and Mission
Children and Mission
A special emphasis of United Methodist Women is children, because women care for children. It is our belief that if children are raised with safety, security, food, shelter, education, and basic human rights, these children will grow to be loving and secure adults. United Methodist Women believe deeply in responding to Jesus' mandate to "care for the least of these."
Children often do not have a voice in this world, so United Methodist Women care for them and advocate on their behalf. You see this commitment globally through community centers, educational opportunities for refugee children, homes for street children, advocacy against sexual exploitation and child labor, educational institutions and much more. United Methodist Women are involved in more than 100 mission institutions and in more than 100 countries around the world.
