30 June is around the corner. Make it count. ✨

EOFY hint, hot off the press: every donation to One Tribe Mama is now tax-deductible. We received our DGR endorsement this month, which means before 30 June, your gift can do double duty.

Maybe it is the year you set up a monthly gift. Maybe it is a one-off contribution to a cause you have been meaning to back. Maybe it is the year you finally buy a brick for our new sanctuary in Kenya.

Whatever you choose, save the receipt. We will save you a seat at the table.

💛 Every donation of $2 or more is now tax-deductible in Australia.

💜 Our Beautiful Aunty Susan 💜

At One Tribe Mama Project we simply could not do what we do without Sue K. Kivuti

Susan is the heart and soul of our project. As a qualified teacher, she brings not only her knowledge and experience, but also a deep compassion for the young mothers and girls we support.

She uses her skills to mentor, encourage, and guide some of our most vulnerable young women, helping them build brighter futures for themselves and their babies.

Susan gives so much of herself—her heart, her time, her energy, and her wisdom. Her passion for nurturing and empowering the next generation shines through in everything she does.

We are incredibly grateful for her unwavering dedication and the love she pours into our One Tribe family every single day. 💜

What does $30 actually do? Honest answer below.

We get asked this all the time. So here it is, plainly:

🍞 $30 - A mother's daily care. Food, hygiene, baby essentials.
💛 $50 - One trauma-informed counselling session with our social worker.
🏠 $100 - Safe housing and utilities for the home.
🧵 $250 - Skills training and seed capital so she can build her own income.
🔑 $500 - Her entire transition from our safe house into a home of her own.
✨ $1,000 - Long-term, multi-mother impact across the whole programme.

Or if a brick is more your thing, you can buy one for $25 and watch your name go on the wall of our new sanctuary in Kenya.

Whatever you give, it goes somewhere specific. We do not deal in abstracts here.

💛 Every donation of $2 or more is now tax-deductible in Australia.

Imagine a wall in Kenya. Your name is on it. 🧱

We are building a permanent sanctuary in Nakuru, and we are building it brick by brick. Every donor to our Buy a Brick campaign gets their name added to our Wall of Kindness. The bigger your contribution, the more your legacy lives in the walls of this place.

🧱 $25 buys 1 brick (your name on our Virtual Wall of Kindness)
🧱 $125 buys 5 bricks (your name engraved on the physical wall in Kenya)
🧱 $500 buys 20 bricks (invitation to our virtual opening ceremony)
🧱 $2,500 buys 100 bricks (Legacy Builder status across our website and campaign)
🧱 $10,000 buys 500 bricks (naming rights to a room, garden or training space)

This wall will stand for generations of mothers and children. Your name will too.

Every donation of $2 or more is now tax-deductible in Australia.

This is our youngest baby Baby Milenoi.

Yesterday I received a call to say she was becoming very sick. She had a cold that had gone to her chest.

When we are dealing with the small babies in Kenya, and the matter is concerning to serious, we take them to a private hospital where we know they will receive quality treatment.

For regular check ups and routine visits we use the local free clinic.

Yesterday, when I received the call requesting permission to take her to the “good” hospital as the girls were concerned about her, I was only able to say yes thanks to the support of our wonderful monthly sponsors.

(The use of donated funds is always taken seriously and responsibly by everyone at One Tribe Mama Project. No one’s health would ever be put at risk. If I was unable to be contacted the baby would have been taken to hospital and the girls know I would cover the expense personally if it was an expense that wasn’t approved by the Board.)

I mean this sincerely. It’s like anything. When there are bills to pay, people relying on you, and you can’t do this alone you are SO grateful to be able to know you have $40 AUD to be able to get the baby excellent health care when needed.

She is at home now with us. Resting. And improving.

Thank you to our sponsors.

YOU are appreciated.

From hard labour at 13 to a hospital admin career. This is Caroline.

Caroline's childhood was relentless. Abandoned, abused, forced into hard labour at 13. She ran from one cycle of violence into another, and it left her pregnant.

When she arrived at One Tribe Mama, she had nothing.

Today, Caroline works as a hospital medical administrator. Her daughter Bianca is thriving in school.

This is the bit that gets us every time: what looks like a miracle is actually a model. Safe housing. Weekly therapy. Skills training. Wages in hand. Savings she can call her own. Graduation into a home of her own with six months of rent prepaid.

100% of our graduates are still working today. 100% are still raising their babies safely.

That is not a marketing line. That is our operational reality.

💛 Donations of $2 or more are now tax-deductible in Australia.

Meet Shosho. She is the heartbeat of our home.

Inside our safe house in Nakuru, there is one woman every mother turns to first. Her name is Shosho, which means Grandmother in Swahili. She lives with our mamas. She makes the tea. She wipes the tears. She is the reason this place feels like home.

But Shosho is just one part of a structured 12-month programme. Here is what it actually involves:

🏠 Safe housing from day one
💛 Weekly trauma therapy with our qualified social worker
🧵 Skills training in sewing, soap-making, beading and beauty
💰 Cash in hand for every product made, plus matching savings
🔑 Graduation into a home of her own with six months of rent prepaid

For most of these women, opening that first savings account is impossible alone. With us, it is the first step on a 12-month journey out of crisis.

100% of our graduates are still working today. 100% are raising their babies safely.

Every donation of $2 or more is now tax-deductible in Australia.

So if you have donated, purchased one of our beautiful handmade tote bags, shoppers or aprons here’s another lady you have helped.

This lady wasn’t a pregnant teen which is our usual recipient but let’s see if you could say no to her.

She’d had minimal education. Illiterate. In a place like Kenya with many, many people and very few opportunities what are your chances for a future really?

She had 2 children and to feed herself and her children the only thing she had to make money was selling her body. So for 80c men would use her. But sometimes they would pay her and other times they would just beat her. She ended up with another 4 children. A perpetuating cycle of poverty and misery.

She’d always wanted to learn how to sew but for someone like her this was an impossible dream. She was considered the lowest of the low. She even considered herself that. She didn’t feel she deserved a dream. Her older children even said they hated what she was forced to do.

She heard about a new project that had started in her area. One of her friends was going there. Her friend invited her to come along and they welcomed her. That project was us. At One Tribe Mama's Project.

This lady was one of our hardest workers. She turned up to the project first in the morning and left last in the evening. She was very strict with the other girls on how much tea and biscuits they were consuming!! lol she was so loyal.

She became a lady who could hold her head high in her community. She was so proud of what she had accomplished. She graduated through our programmr and tecrived her first ever graduation certificate and more importantly her own sewing machine.

This lady is still connected with us now and I have more great plans for her future.

One Tribe Mamas is a community for these women. I’m not interested in helping 1000 women with a $25 business and they’re still struggling. I’d prefer to walk alongside 100 women and REALLY change and empower their lives and those into the future.

PS: This is not her photo. I’ve used a free stock photo. My lady is more beautiful than this. 🧡
