Helping people across the globe

“We’re not a charity that people see in front of their television screens or hear about on the radio yet, we are extremely proud that our work benefits people from across the globe as well as right here in the UK,” SMT spokesperson Ibrar Hussain said.

Founders say the charity’s focus lies on long-term projects and making people self-sufficient, alongside providing emergency relief efforts across the world.

“The organization’s name, Save the Mothers Trust, reflects our belief that a mother or a motherly figure is the core of every family,” the charity’s website says.

“Our intention is to provide the correct support and assistance to these mothers and by doing so, we hope to save them and their future generations.”
