the women
who lead.

A small team, chosen with care — women stewarding the Foundation with the same rigor and tenderness the mothers we serve deserve.

Manifesto

Three quiet rules we lead by.

01
Stewardship.

Every shilling is accountable. Every promise is documented.

02
Sisterhood.

We lead in the same circles we serve.

03
Longevity.

We build for the mothers our mothers dreamed of.

“Nguvu Ya Mwanamke was built on one belief — that a mother, well supported, changes everything for generations after her.”

Hanniél founded Nguvu Ya Mwanamke Foundation to walk with the mothers she believed no system should leave behind. As CEO, she leads strategy, community and vision — turning conviction into circles, scholarships and second chances.

Zarina leads the board of trustees, oversees governance, chairs trustee meetings, and ensures the Foundation is well governed — holding the line so every mother we serve is met by an organisation that keeps its word.
