Our aim
Stichting Mamita Alice is a non-profit foundation in the Netherlands that aims to create a positive and sustainable change in the lifes of disadvantaged children in Ayacucho, Peru. To do so, Mamita Alice aims to:
- Provide financial support to the work of people and organisations who aim to improve the living circumstances and development opportunities of disadvantaged children in the Global south. Specifically we support the projects of NGO Mama Alice and Fundacion wayra in Ayacucho, Peru.
- To perform any legal activities that are related to or support the above stated goal or which are inquisitive to the above.
Our activities
Stichting Mamita Alice provides financial support to activities of organisations who support disadvantaged children in Ayacucho, Peru. By providing this financial support we allow these organisations to provide these children with safety, secureness and opportunities. All of which lead to a chance for a better future. Specifically we provide financial support to projects that rely on the following pillars:
- Education and after school assistance
- higher professional education
- Psychosocial aid
- Medical care
Besides collecting financial contributions we also undertake to raise awareness. We organise events and presentations in order to educate and inspire our network. By doing so, we want to increase the knowledge of (young) people in the Netherlands, about the world in general and the lack of opportunities of Peruvian children in particular.
What about our finances?
We use several methods to raise money to support projects. In the first place we raise money through a number of monthly, quarterly and yearly donors. We are very grateful for this as they provide important continuity. Furthermore we apply for international, national and regional grants to support specific projects.
Our aim is to make sure that all the money raised is spend to support the projects. However, to run a foundation some overhead (administrative) costs are necessary. We keep these costs as low as possible. Our board members act on a voluntary basis and do not receive any remuneration.
As a foundation we value transparency. Our annual report therefore elaborates on the financials of the foundation and can be found on our website.
Our board
Our current board exists of three people:
Maren Klein, LLM, chair
Stan Wintraecken, MSc, treasurer
Rick Stegeman, MSc, secretary
