Mission: The mission of Mama Hope is to support the efforts of effective grassroots organizations in the developing world, by communicating their achievements and needs to the American public and raising funds to support their innovative programs. We believe that the most effective change comes from within the community and seek to provide them with the resources they need to be self-sufficient and sustainable.
Programs: We are partnering with Wind of Hope in the Arid, a Kenyan-based NGO that directly provides HIV/AIDs services to an immediate community of 50,000 people and a greater community of 120,000. Together we have built a Health Clinic that will be opening in the summer of 2008. We are currently planning projects for the next few years that will address the underlying issues of poverty in the community and help establish self-sufficiency.
