International women-led Christian organisation Mothers’ Union will celebrate its 150th anniversary in Bahrain, with plans to set up an office in the kingdom to co-ordinate its expansion in the Gulf.
The announcement was made by Mothers’ Union worldwide president Kathleen Snow during a Press conference in which the organisation also revealed that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with ‘This Is Bahrain’ to explore further collaboration opportunities.
“‘This Is Bahrain’ will be hosting a special celebration for the 150th anniversary of Mothers’ Union worldwide in Bahrain at a later date,” This Is Bahrain chairperson Betsy Mathieson told reporters.
“It should be noted also that until her passing, the late Queen Elizabeth II of England was the royal patron for the Mothers’ Union, and today this mantle has been taken up by Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh.
“So we’re really honoured because the relationship between the UK and Bahrain has always been very strong, and this is yet another link where we will work together to support the incredible work that the Mothers’ Union does all over the world.”
Ms Mathieson added that the Mothers’ Union will be opening an office in Bahrain, which will serve as ‘a headquarters for them to facilitate whatever they need in this region.’
