Mama Hope

Mission

Mama Hope is nonprofit that supports effective grassroots organizations in the developing world by communicating their achievements and needs to the American public and raising funds to assist their programs. Currently we have partnered with a Community Project in Kenya called Pepo La Tumaini Jangwani to advocate and raise funds for their projects. We work to serve the needs of the people as they communicate them to us, rather than through a bureaucracy.
