Here is a list of our friends...

The Hilden Charitable Trust

Mama's first big boost came in the form of a grant from this fine body. They have been incredibly supportive, financially and also in giving advice and helping making contacts. The Hilden Trust and it's marvellous administrator Rodney made Mama Biashara possible.

CWAC - Children With AIDS Charity

Mama Biashara has really grown out of work I have been doing in Kenya with CWAC. And CWAC is very necessary to Mama - being a well established charity - all and any contributions to Mama Biashara will be made through CWAC, thus ensuring total accountability. To say nothing of Gift Aid!

Celtic Broadcasting

From July on, you will be able to see short video clips of Mama's progress in Kenya. Our two person team of camera operators: Janet Ogindo and Collinz the Boy Wonder are able to bring you this wonderful insight into life and work in the slums because of a generous donation by Garry Grant of Celtic Broadcasting. Garry's first venture was in sponsoring a Hair Salon in Lenana Slum and now he is moving back onto home ground by helping finance Mama's media arm.

If you would like to become a friend by making a donation, you can send a cheque made payable to "CWAC International Ref: MB" to:

BUSINESS  MAMAS

You don't have to buy from Mama Biashara. You can start a business all on your own. Become a Business Mother yourself! £25 will start a vegetable selling business, £30 will set up a charcoal seller or a second hand clothes dealer, a chapati maker or a sambusa seller.

BUSINESS TWINNING

Why not think about twinning your business with one in Nairobi? How cool would it be to have pictures and news from 'our branch in Dagoretti Corner, Nairobi'? If you are a butcher...
a restaurant or cafe owner...
a hairdresser...
Anything from £100 - £200 will open your twin and change the lives of your sponsored business 'partner' forever.  Mama will put you directly in touch so you can get as involved as you like. Go on... set up your Kenyan Branch today !

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

Anyone who would like to help out in Nairobi 'on the ground', and has skills to offer will be made most welcome. Mama can arrange good, safe, budget accommodation and take you round to where your skills can be of most use: computer skills, numeracy, marketing, all are useful. If you are good at looking after small people - come and help in Mama's day nursery. Most of all, if you can sell... if you can create markets... we want you!
