At MAMA HOPE, we are inspired by the resilience and ingenuity of proximate leaders who face systemic barriers. We are challenging the global development sector to invest in and advocate for the unseen heroes whose work doesn’t make the headlines, but makes all the difference.

Together, we can shift the global power dynamic. Here’s how: 

Fund our LDA Program

We run the Localization Development Accelerator (LDA) program, a 9-month intensive training program for leaders of community-based organizations.

1. $25,000 funds one partner through our LDA program 
2. $5,000 provides one partner with an implementation grant, supporting their locally-led impact
3. $1,400 allows one leader to attend the MAMA HOPE partner meet-up, helping them to expand their networks
4. $800 facilitates peer-to-peer learning, allowing our partners to learn and grow from each other

Facilitate a Boot-camp

MAMA HOPE runs effective 1-2 week boot-camps focused on strengthening organizational capacity. 

1. $3,000 funds one partner through our Bootcamp 
2. $500 sponsors a site-visit to a locally-led organizations, facilitating hands-on learning
3. $50 funds a resource toolkit used during training and beyond
4. $25 provides a workbook for one leader to develop strategies for their organization

Invest in our Social Entreprenuership Impact Investment (SEII) Program
