Ewe Mama Onlus is a non-profit organization founded by the desire to help the poorest . It operates in the field of fundraising in support of missions and on the Italian territory through initiatives and events. Ewe Mama has been working alongside the Franciscan Order of Minor Friars, in particular from the African province St. Francis in East Africa, Madagascar and Mauritius and specifically in Uganda. (For more information visit http://www.stfrancisuganda.org/)

The association is made up of people of all ages who want to get involved in projects in Italy or abroad. We are bound by the desire to give our time to the poorest, giving up something of our own in a perspective of fraternal sharing. We are interested in the social development, the promotion of human dignity, the development of the rural local communities, the support to training and to education, the attention to the poorest and the concreteness of the interventions.

We want to work on sustainability with clear and achievable goals, making use of the thirty-year presence of the Franciscan Minor Friars in the territory. Two lay missionaries belonging to the association have been living for years in Uganda, where you can find the Franciscan community working on the development and maintenance of the projects supported by Ewe Mama, by ensuring contacts with Italy and the hospitality of any volunteer in the mission.

It is in this scenario and through these bases established that Ewe Mama brings its help in several ways: it provides awereness and fundraising activities on the Italian territory and it offers the opportunity to join the work of missionaries in foreign lands.
