(BPT) - The love of a mother knows no bounds. This Mother's Day, consider a unique gift that reflects her unconditional love for you: a subscription that empowers families in the world's toughest places to create change that lasts.
More than 700 million people worldwide are living in extreme poverty - most of them women and children. Like all mothers, these moms want to give the best for their children, but they face many challenges. With an income of less than $2.15 per day, they are deprived of basic human needs like clean water and sanitation, nutritious food, health care, education and spiritual nurture.
This Mother's Day, you can show your gratitude for your own mom's loving care through a gift subscription to join Believers for World Change™ - a community of change makers dedicated to helping end extreme poverty around the world in partnership with World Vision, the global Christian humanitarian organization.
A gift with lasting impact
Just as your mother's love is ongoing and reliable, so is the idea behind subscribing to world change. The monthly gifts given in her name will equip families with access to resources that answer both immediate and long-term needs, like sustainable clean water sources, essential health care and nutrition training, education and safeguarding programs for children, job training, emergency aid when disaster hits, and much more. You'll be helping equip families to not just survive, but thrive, by providing them with the tools they need to change their lives for good.
Your mother will be touched by your thoughtful gift and proud of you for wanting to make a positive impact on others. Learn more at worldvision.org/WorldChange.
Why a subscription?
Most Americans use multiple subscription services, like streaming platforms, apps, meal kit deliveries and more. You're likely used to paying a monthly fee and getting something in return.
You may even be paying for services you no longer use, since autopay can fly under the radar. A poll conducted by C + R Research showed that 42% of consumers admit they've stopped using a subscription service but forgot they were still paying for it.
Now is the ideal time to evaluate your subscription services and consider redirecting funds from ones no longer useful to you into one that offers lasting value: a subscription to world change.
Make a tangible difference
This subscription flips the focus of the standard model by making it about not what you get, but what you give: tools and support that equip families to experience transformation that can last for generations.
'Worldwide, humanitarian needs continue to increase,' said Edgar Sandoval Sr., president and CEO of World Vision. 'But World Vision knows that when we partner with donors and the communities we serve, we're able to not only bring life-saving aid to some of the world's most challenging places but also equip children with the tools they need to fulfill their God-given potential. Our hope is that donors will join with us to bring hope and create lasting change while gaining a new and a more rewarding perspective on how they spend their hard-earned money.'
Whether for Mother's Day, a birthday or just to show you care, a subscription to world change is a gift with meaning that's sure to be remembered and appreciated well into the future - both by your gift recipient and families around the world.
