Sällskapet för uppmuntran av öm och sedlig modersvård
Sällskapet för uppmuntran av öm och sedlig modersvård ("Society for the encouragement of tender and virtuous motherly care") was a royal Swedish charity organisation, founded in 1827 and ended in 1944. It was one of the major charity foundations founded by Crown Princess Josephine.[1] It was one of the first private charity organisations in Sweden, and one of the first to be founded and managed by women. It played a significant part within private charity in 19th-century Sweden. The purpose of the organisation was to provide financial help to poor mothers, who were estimated to be good mothers by the organisation, and it was an example of the private charity organisations which did not believe in unconditional help to the needing.
