Mothering Across Continentssm: Adopting Dreams. Raising Tomorrow’s Leaders:
A coalition of women catalysts and social entrepreneurs compelled by the idea mothering is the act of developing responsible citizen leaders around the world. MAC, a 501(c)3 non-profit, connects and equips women as guardians, advocates, funders, promoters and replicators of innovative pilots. We empower women to surface, shape, monitor and report on initiatives that require small amounts of money to get started. And we are a network and lab that can share learnings across countries and cultures. Today, we have projects underway and launching in South Africa, Rwanda and Southern Sudan, and a vision of becoming global. Projects unfold like this – we design and develop an innovative pilot on “seed funds;” we monitor, measure and help ensure replication; and then we transition a developed program that others can sustain.
