All the Women is the story of MUMs
(Malawi's Underprivileged Mothers).
Prompted by a few photographs of mothers and babies in a maternity unit in Malawi, the charity began in the spring of 2005 and grew beyond any expectation.The first MUMs recipe book was published at Christmas that same year and over 55,000 books were sold in 12 years.
The journey described in this book shows what can be done when working together for women and children in most need. From Scotland to Malawi, all the women in this story are striving for the same goal, to make a positive difference.
