"Charity never faileth" is the motto of one of the world's oldest and largest women's organizations, the Relief Society of the LDS or Mormon Church. Its official declaration likewise proclaims the goals of the organization as a whole and the individual goals of its members. All Mormon women age 18 and older are automatically members. The Relief Society was founded by the Prophet Joseph Smith on March 17, 1842, in Nauvoo, Illinois. Today the Relief Society includes over five million women in over 170 countries.
