Causes

Collaboration is at the heart of everything the foundation does. While all organizations are important, there are those whose work we'd like to highlight and support in any way we can. These are our "Sister" organizations and they do wonderful things in the communities they support.

OneMama

Siobhan Neilland, founder of OneMama, represents the heart of this organization. Passionate about making a difference in the world, Siobhan created OneMama to show those in need that they are loved and matter in this world.
Inspired by a Ugandan midwife, Mama Jamira, Siobhan found her calling helping people in desperate conditions empower themselves to create change.
Jamira is a traditional birth attendant (TBA), otherwise known as a traditional midwife in Uganda. Since 1982, she has been working out of her hut in order to provide care for mothers giving birth. She has had training for a midwife certification with a special focus on HIV prevention. She is also inherently gifted in her practice, using specialized herbal medicine for the women and babies who are under her care, and therefore has much respect throughout her community and other neighboring communities. Yet, Jamira does not have any medical supplies, funding, governmental support, or even beds for her patients. The conditions she works in are unfathomable by most. Jamira represents many traditional midwives in Uganda, and hundreds of thousands more around the world. At times, a single midwife nurtures the mothers and infants of an entire community - thus, quite literally being one mother for all: OneMama.
As Siobhan worked to help Mama Jamira's community, her vision blossomed into creating an organization that encompassed no limits, servicing impoverished communities worldwide. As a successful entrepreneur, Siobhan has taken her keen business sense and transmuted OneMama into a model that will create self- sustainability in each community it supports.
OneMama ties Uganda's communities together through sustainable health, family, and financial education in order for its people to overcome poverty and thrive. By specifically supporting the traditional midwives at the center of these communities, OneMama empowers women, raises awareness, and makes positive change. OneMama is the nurturer, the protector, and the source of life for those in need.

Girls and Women Empowerment Network

Girls and Women Empowerment Network (GWEN) Trust is an organization that supports the empowerment of women and girls who are facing different vulnerabilities and orphaned children who are mostly girls. It is a recently established organization that intends to combat the many
challenges girls and women face who have been subjected to mostly gender based violence (GBV). Those who are HIV positive and those who have been discriminated and abused by relatives and other community members.
GWEN provides for the empower of women and girls in all spheres of life in ways that respect the law to promote, protect and provide for girls and women in Zimbabwe and the world. GWEN works to eradicate factors that increase girls and women’s vulnerability and prevent them from enjoying
their full God given and constitutional rights. These factors include among others; such as poverty, physical impairments, GBV, discrimination and abuse. Its formation has also been necessitated by the numerous challenges vulnerable girls and women face at school, at home and in the society. Lack
of safe places for girls, women and children escaping domestic violence and the absence of the ability get to safe places, GWEN Trust provides transport, information to safe shelters and police stations for these survivors.
The program also supports victims who will be unsure or not ready to leave abusive situations in order to protect themselves. The program will move beyond supporting victims and survivors of abuse to empowering girls and women whose vulnerability due to HIV and AIDS, GBV, physical
impairments, poverty among other challenges. The program aims to provide for education and training of girls and women in various aspects from basic education, capacity building in self-help income generating projects to creating access to employment, scholarships and funding. These
projects will enable the beneficiaries to earn income for a decent livelihood, improve knowledge and capacity in dealing with legal and material issues, sexual reproductive health. Having own income will also create freedom and independence which will reduce the level of vulnerability among girls and women.
