Our mission

Fighting for the joy of mothers on Earth to be healthy, happy, and prosperous.

We empower women as caregivers, mothers, businesswomen and agents of change, starting with a pilot program in Uganda built to be replicated in rural communities around the globe.

At times a single traditional midwife cares for every mother and infant in a community: quite literally one mother for all. That's who we are. We are all OneMama, living on One Mother Earth.

“Can you imagine your sister, your mother, your daughter, or your wife birthing a baby alone, with no medical supplies, no pain medicine, and no one there to help?”

With your support, OneMama is there to help.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 800 women die every day of preventable causes related to pregnancy and giving birth. Let's eliminate this statistic together.

a mama and her baby.
