A Note from Happy Mwende Kinyili, Executive Director of Mama Cash

Welcome. If you are here, it’s likely we’ve already connected and you’re curious to learn more – I’m so glad you are! I’ve seen how grassroots groups led by women, girls and trans and intersex people, organising together, create sustainable solutions that benefit us all. They have been building the foundations of a just world — often before the world even notices.
For four decades, Mama Cash has had the privilege of amplifying these movements. And when partners like you stand with us, that power multiplies.

Here you’ll find resources that offer a deeper look at our work — and the role you can play in it. I invite you to explore them, and if they resonate, to reach out to Tanya Rahman and continue the conversation.

With gratitude,
Happy Mwende Kinyili

“I’m totally committed to, and inspired by, the principles and views of Mama Cash.”

A New Model

The Future of Philanthropy Is Already Here

The attitudes and choices in the world of philanthropy have been shifting – from control to shared power, from silos to intersectional thinking. This is good news! Because in a time of rising authoritarianism and growing backlash against our basic rights, these new models of supporting change are vital. For more than 40 years, Mama Cash has pioneered ways of funding that protect space for grassroots groups to thrive, even under pressure.

Notes from our donors

Mama Cash is unique
“I’m totally committed to, and inspired by, the principles and views of Mama Cash. Mama Cash is unique in that she chooses to support women’s rights groups who have the guts to speak out from the margins of feminist movements, such as trans people, lesbian women and sex workers”. – Lida van den Broek
Sustaining our family heritage
“As a family, we believed strongly in issues like social justice and equality for women. Concern for ‘the other’ was a dinner table topic when I was growing up. By [donating to] Mama Cash, I feel like I am sustaining our family heritage, not through offspring, but by contributing to a better world for women and girls”. – Sandrine Ulenberg
Single working mom
“I used to go marching and protesting before I became a parent and I wish I had more time to do activist work, but as a single working mom, I just can’t be on the frontlines all the time. That’s why I donate to Mama Cash, because I know they’re supporting the activists on the ground who are doing amazing things in their communities and it feels like I’m part of that by donating a small amount every month.” – Anonymous
Women were simply neglected
“We had a lot of casualties, and it took me a while before I realised none of the wounded we treated were women…the women were simply neglected and left to bear the pain. I am convinced that greater equality between men and women will mean fewer wars. This require women worldwide to gain control over their lives. Maybe it will take decades, but it’s the only way.” – Nico Spanjer, Assistent Anesthesist who served with Dutch military forces in Afghanistan
