As the founder of Mate Foundation, my journey is driven by a deep love for our planet and a belief in collective action. I’m committed to fostering harmony between humanity and nature through sustainable practices. Every day, I’m inspired by the resilience of our community and the potential for positive change. Together, we’re building a brighter, more sustainable future. I love my community and I want to use my resources and networks to build an inclusive community where opportunity abounds.
Our Vision is to build and support systems that realise a world where communities achieve sustainable social justice, environmental stewardship, and economic empowerment through inclusive practices.
Our Mission is to enhance the quality of life in local communities by empowering them through outreach and education to develop and implement sustainable, home-grown solutions to their local challenges.
Our theory of change is rooted in our conviction that communities best understand their development challenges and should therefore be at the forefront of solving these issues. We see our role as providing strategic linkages, advocacy, and access, as well as capacity building, to strengthen communities’ abilities to address their challenges effectively.
Our programs are designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to develop interventions that enable the target population to continue deriving social and economic benefits well beyond the period of intervention.

Our inclusive model brings together ideas, people, and resources to tackle community challenges with the ultimate goal of improving livelihoods. Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, The Mate Foundation works to help all people lead decent and productive lives.
