Raise HOPE for Women in Eastern DRC (Congo)

We know that when women are educated, healthy and strong, the entire community echoes with direct benefit. By providing the training and resources, we are directly supporting and promoting leadership for women in their personal and professional lives. These women in turn will use their skills to educate and impact their children, directly changing the trajectory of their lives and their families.

This is our long-term goal at Mamafrica. We strive not only to impact and empower our artisans directly through stable employment in a happy, healthy atmosphere, but to spread benefit to their children as well. Our goal is to have every child in school. But for some of our Mamas, paying the school fees for all of her children may be financially out of reach. Some of our Mamas are raising kids on their own, some may have several little ones in school all at once. Paying the school fees for each and every child, every month, may be an ideal that is financially out of reach.

We'd like to change that. For $20, a child can go to school for a month. This is a potentially life-changing endeavor. We are establishing a new School Fees Program at Mamafrica, and we'd love for you to be a part of it. For $20 a month, a child of one of our Mamafrica artisans can go to school, and begin the way to a brighter future. 

We are thrilled about the progress we've been making at Mamafrica, and we are most proud of the feeling of Family that our team in Bukavu have cultivated. Our artisans are the lifeblood of all we do. We have some very strong hearts and and some very strong minds, working very hard on all fronts- from the sewing machines to operations. We're taking that vitality and extending it to the next generation. 

Thank you, from the entire team at Mamafrica, for your ongoing support and good wishes!

Sincerely,

Jean Bathke
