Nonprofit Overview

Causes: International, International Relief

Mission: The OneMama Organization is a self-sustaining medical clinic in Africa that promotes safe birthing environments, family and financial planning, as well as trade craft and agricultural education. With over ten years in the recruiting business, founder Siobhan Neilland has now translated for-profit core methodologies in to building a nonprofit organization that utilizes these methodologies to organize a three-tier infrastructure for the OneMama Organization. After overcoming her own obstacles of illness, poverty and the loss of her child, she set out to create self-sustainable communities around the world in an effort to help the world render trife in to peace - empowering women to have a voice. OneMama programs put special focus on women, specifically midwives who are often at the center of these impoverished communities. Women in late term pregnancy travel by foot for miles in order to give birth with a midwife they trust. At times, a single midwife nurtures all of the mothers and infants of an entire community- thus, quite literally being one mother for all: One Mama. Our pilot program in Uganda consists of building an on-site, solar birthing and medical clinic where midwives can provide safe post and prenatal care to their patients as well as teach about family planning and economic sustainability. As OneMama grows, we will gradually replicate this program in 250 communities around the globe - in a worldwide effort to eliminate the poverty statistic of living on less than $1.25 per day.

I love OneMama Health Center focus on significantly improving the lives of mothers and babies being born safely and overall family health. OneMama proven success they have in doing that for 17 years is so wonderful. The OneMama Health Organization has developed a methodology that they share with other organizations to lead the effort in improving the quality of life for mothers and babies in Sub-Sarah Africa. One reason I support this organization is because I know my money is being used to provide direct support to the every child born in this community and the mothers and families that the clinic serves for family planning. The administrative costs are kept to a minimum through efficient management and a great volunteer network. I admire the passion and commitment of the founder Siobhan Neillaand and her team to expand the reach of the work they do with so little resources.

A really great charity that does important work. The stories in their newsletters nearly always move me to tears. I found out about them through the life you can save organization so it's good to know the work the charity is doing is also extremely effective in terms of lives saved for dollars donated.

I had the privilege of attending an event where the OneMama Organization was the featured charity, and I must say, their work is nothing short of extraordinary. The impact they have on the lives of those in need is truly remarkable.

During our event, we learned that the funds raised that evening had the power to save 500 lives. That statement alone left everyone in awe of the incredible work OneMama is doing. Their dedication to providing birthing care and medical support to underserved communities is nothing short of heroic.

But what truly struck me was their holistic approach to aid. Not only do they provide essential medical care, but they also empower the community through economic sustainability initiatives. As a token of appreciation, they gave all the attendees paper bead necklaces made by the very community they support. These necklaces are not just pieces of jewelry; they symbolize hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.

OneMama is an organization that doesn't just offer a temporary fix; they are committed to creating lasting change. Their focus on not only saving lives but also improving the quality of life for these communities is truly inspiring. It's a reminder that every small act of kindness and support can make an enormous difference in the world.

If you're looking for a charity that is not only making a significant impact but also doing so with heart, dedication, and a genuine commitment to uplifting communities, OneMama is the organization to support. They are a beacon of hope, and I am proud to have been a part of an event that contributed to their incredible mission.

The OneMama organization has an amazing mission to not only help babies be born safely into impoverished communities in Uganda, but to help those communities to become self sufficient. The best gift anyone could ever offer these people. And OneMama's mission is to expand these clinics all over the world! I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to be a part of something so huge and life changing for so many people. The founder of OneMama is such an amazing role model to so many and worth reading about. Talk about powerful female making change in this world! Wow, she's so amazing. I will volunteer, donate, and help spread the word for this small nonprofit so it can become larger and reach its goal. Nothing could be more empowering then helping a nonprofit such as this grass roots organization with such an awe-inspiring mission.
