Vision
To be the lead organization in sustainable development.
Mission
To enhance the well-being of the girl child in a holistic manner through development and self-sustaining projects in order to help girls and women realize their full potential.
We believe there can be no lasting improvement in the lives of women if girls are not also given the opportunity to achieve their true potential. In African communities, many girls never escape the devastating and lifelong consequences of gender discrimination that often lead to teenage pregnancy, prostitution, and homelessness. Gender-insensitive school practices, sexual harassment and demeaning images in the media all play a part in the oppression of girls and women, and early signs of the effects of such practices include poor school performance, early school drop out, and little or no self-esteem.
Values and Principles
Mama na Dada is committed to girl child education and women empowerment; sexual and reproductive health for youth; shared direction and empowerment; and sustainable community development, based on the values of teamwork, care and understanding, participation, accountability and transparency, equity, social justice and continuous learning. The organization will work to maintain these values for posterity.
