Mom to Many Development
What does your company do?
Our Organisation focuses on delivering support and resources in 3 development areas. 1. We provide Early Childhood Development support to Educares and children in the underdeveloped community. 2. We train and mentor women, as mothers and caregivers, so that they are economically equipped and emotionally able to support and care for the growing child. 3. We provide Trauma counseling and mental health awareness in the underdeveloped community, where services such as counselling and medical attention for mental illnesses, barely exists. We combine these 3 development areas into a development model that will not only see the lives of children improved, but also the lives of the women and adults in the community.
What is your biggest success?
Our greatest achievement was the roll out of our very first Mom to Many Development Mobile Centre. We did this in 2024. This did not only provide us with a physical presence within the community but it also allowed our members to have direct access to our services since transport costs are always an issue in our issue. For the member and the workers. We are now able to feed and service up to 300 children at a time from the community. We cook for them, provide basic needs assistance and we provide psychological and skills training to the women and mom's in our Programme.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been the delays and setbacks by stakeholders and decision-makers who work within the NPO industry. There are excellent support departments and assistance in some cases. However with other matters we have had a prolonged series of back and forth to bring about change. We need more people to come on board and connect with the NPO sector and instead of creating red tape to get the work done, find ways to allow more good works to prevail. We understand there are policies and procedures,like with all life, however the process of some our works have certainly been slowed down by parties who do not see the issue in the same pressing haste as we do. We deal with traumatic cases on the ground and at times we do not need the further hurdles to exist which delay or hinder us in delivering our derives. Safety is not a priority in the underdeveloped community and so you will find that our level and method of care is seen as unnecessary. We work to educate our members for long term improvement and sustainable change.
