We are excited to partner with Make Mothers Matter (MMM) this May as many parts of the world celebrate Mother’s Day.
MMM is an international NGO established in 1947 at the UNESCO in Paris. They advocate for the recognition and support of mothers as changemakers. To achieve their mission they work to understand the realities on the ground and act globally to initiate laws and policies benefiting mothers and families. Their poles of action are education, health, peace and economy. Today they federate an expanding network of member associations and partners active in the field around the world reaching over 10 million mothers globally.
KISANY itself was born as an NGO project with one of our member associationsEn Avant Les Enfants. We deeply share the MMM belief that everyone, especially mothers, should have access to education and decent work. For more than fifteen years, we have served this purpose by offering training and work in DR Congo and Rwanda. The result is two flourishing partner ateliers with over 120 artisans, fulfilling local and international projects, and more than 1300 lives transformed.
We work with young underage mothers and grandmothers every day. And many of their journeys have been hard. Violence and lack of education had them trapped in cycles of dependence. Yet through perseverance, education and work we see the lives of these formidable women change by building independence. Stitch by stitch they have become leaders in their communities. And their success in becoming exceptional artisans is inspirational and is what drives us every day.
Our partnership is therefore not just a great fit but also something that fills us with pride. Not KISANY is living proof of MMM’s mission of advocating for recognition and support of mothers as changemakers to make the world a better place.
In celebration of Mother’s Day across the whole month of May, we are donating 10% of all their online proceeds from the month of May 2021 to MMM.
