Why Motherless Daughters Foundation?
Our participants literally grow with our program. We aim to keep young ladies involved through high school graduation. Upon graduation, we have a retention program that helps these young ladies give back and become mentors themselves. The life experiences, friendships and family bond are truly priceless. Take a look at our events page to see what we've done in the past
