So one of my pet-projects this semester has been integrating the needs of community based organizations and the global reach through e-commerce that MamaMikes.com has developed over time. I established the MamaMikes Social Outreach program to create a new medium by which non-profit organizations in Kenya can gain access to a new donor base, ease the ability for donations to be made, and do so in an organized manner. The program is starting off with a partnership with Mama Fatuma Children’s Home. I’ve developed a series of packages that can be purchased on MamaMikes to not only help Mama Fatuma through the direct benefit of the goods received, but will also assist in alleviating funds that can elsewhere be invested. The store can be found from the MamaMikes Homepage, click the “Social Outreach” button at the top of the page, and then there will be a link to Mama Fatuma Children’s Home. Hopefully this will be a successful venture and the program can be expanded over time to other organizations throughout Kenya.

Also, here is a link to the MamaMikes blog entry about the new partnership: Click Here.
