This article reviews the policies of the United Nations with regard to families where mothers are working in developing countries. The focus is child care, which is being passed over in United Nations' efforts on gender mainstreaming and empowering women as well as ignored in United Nations' statements on poor children. This is especially problematic because globalization is now drawing poor and working class mothers into the formal labor force where combining child care with productive activity is no longer possible. The history of Care, Health and Education for Children in Poverty, an organization located in South Asia, provides a grassroots example. Popular goals of privatization, sustainability and local control are putting poor children at risk in the developing world
