At maNGOma, we see ourselves as distinctive in international development. We do not hold our own funds; instead, we form genuine partnerships with grassroots NGOs across the world. Together we foster networking and collaboration, support development, seek to improve access to resources such as grants and donations, and strengthen partners’ capacity to lead change in their own communities.
We currently support a small but growing number of partners and aim to expand further. We work with volunteers to further our work and make community-led change possible.
If we fundraise for an NGO, any funds secured become our responsibility. Before release, we ensure partners commit to clear conditions agreed with both maNGOma and the funders. These include progress reporting, transparent accounts, and shared evaluations. Where resources allow, volunteers may visit projects, and for larger initiatives budgets may include independent evaluation.
This model ensures accountability while valuing local leadership. It helps to build resilience, link local knowledge with global solidarity, and demonstrate how grassroots action contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals.
