To do more, we need more. Simple.
MOMS is a grass-roots nonprofit. We have about 150 donors; the average gift is about $50 and the average donor gives about $300 per year. We are awestruck by the generosity of you good people.
And…
Development — making significant, enduring change — is not a "one and done" kind of deal. It is, instead, building relationships, developing trust, providing ongoing support as the people develop their capacity and independence. MOMS builds capacity and that takes time.
So, please give generously because you will make real change, sustainable change, in the lives of thousands of people. Women and babies will survive and thrive because of you.
We give you many ways to help. Scroll for more…

Where your gifts go….
We have no paid US staff, and volunteers raise money to pay their own way to Sierra Leone. We use the money you give for the following:- Teaching aids
- Salaries for our Sierra Leonean staff
- Food, travel, and housing for the teams while teaching
- The costs of operating legally and effectively: Government fees, telephone, this website, etc.
More about Teaching Aids
Remember the old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words?” This is especially true when teaching. And a model is worth ten thousand words. Maybe a simulator is worth one hundred thousand words!We teach many subjects which benefit from a variety of visual aids.
- Anatomy and physiology
- Fetal development
- Labor and delivery
- Newborn care
- Nutrition
Volunteers
MOMS uses few volunteers in Sierra Leone. As part of our mission, we are developing local people to teach well and administer the program. At times, we will take someone with us who meets all qualifications. They work hard. We have no patience for those wanting an opportunity for "voluntourism" or proselytizing, or any form of colonialism. If you want to know more about this, please get in touch.Board members set strategy and guide decisions. Board members are ambassadors for MOMS, talking about the work and asking people to help. Board members keep MOMS going by raising money and good will.
Board members frame the future of MOMS!
