How Can You Help
Get involve
Thank you for deciding to help Africa help itself! Donating to MothersAfrica is value for saving lives.
UNICEF once asked a child in Africa, the following question and the answer you see below would surprise you.
Q: "What would you like to be when you grow up?"
A: "ALIVE!"
The young are the most vulnerable victims of poverty.
Here at MothersAfrica we aim to empower mothers to live better lives on their own resources without needing future aid.
We invest in specific training – books and other education related items are donated to public or private institutions for their free services. Through community partnership and training we enable individuals, and communities to have access to better health care, avoid getting sick, - by donating health related equipment to clinics for free services - access to clean water and start own businesses.
Mothers and children who are well can work, attend school, look after their families and are strong enough to make the right decisions for their future. A regular donation, however small, will help tap into Africa's potential and create a bright future for the continent.What We Need:
