Our aim
The aim of foundation Mamita Alice is to create a positive and sustainable change in the lifes of disadvantaged children in Ayacucho, Peru. This aim is set out in our statutes. It formally says that our aim is 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. All without the goal of making a profit.
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, including individual education
- Professional education
- Psychosocial aid
- Medical care
Besides collecting financial contributions we also undertake other activities. We organise events and presentations in which we present the projects in Peru, in order to raise awareness. 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 grants for specific projects. Our aim is to spend all of the collected money on projects in Peru. That doesn’t take away the fact that there are some overhead costs that are necessary to run the foundation. These mainly concern administrative costs. The board does not receive any financial reward for their work and leads the foundation on a voluntary basis. As a foundation we value transparency. Hence we have an annual report that elaborates the financial situation. (This is only available in Dutch)
