My Nonprofit Reviews

I have worked with BOMA on a variety of strategy and organizational development projects. This is an organization that is thoughtful and strategic, has an engaged Board of Directors, a skilled and experienced and highly committed leadership team and a passionate staff that goes above and beyond to support their program participants. BOMA is deeply connected into ASAL communities and understands the vast potential of women entrepreneurs to drive change for themselves, their families and their communities. The more you get to know BOMA the easier it is to fall in love with their vision that women in climate-affected places can build a better future for themselves and impressed by the results of the women entrepreneurs.

BOMA is one of Smarter Good’s long term clients and we've had the privilege to witness how they have been able to help increasing numbers of women and children in the ASALs of Africa. Because of their emphasis on rigorously tracking impact, making data driven decisions, creating long-term change, and designing a program uniquely tailored to the context of women of the African drylands, I consider BOMA one of the most promising leaders in the poverty graduation space and a role model for other organizations in the sector. I recently had the chance to work with BOMA’s board members and senior management team to develop their next strategic plan. I was amazed and inspired by the commitment that each person brought to the table. BOMA has a highly experienced, talented and dedicated board and staff and that gives me the confidence that BOMA will achieve its ambitious goal of changing the lives of 1 million women and children by end of 2022. I would really recommend BOMA as a vision-first organization that will continue to grow and succeed in the coming years.
