It began on one of my expeditions, with a request from the women of Gasmata for a Haus Mama (Women’s Centre) to be built so they had a place dedicated to their interests and needs.
We agreed - if they built the structure, I’d assist in delivering their ‘needs’
- maternal health awareness to combat increasing maternal mortality rates
- a communal kitchen to support women staying in maternity wards or fundraising
- educational workshops on income revenue streams

The Sivirho Mama Haus, was built 3 months later. It has 2 rooms for expectant mother’s from the hills while awaiting delivery, A kitchen and a meeting room to host workshops and fundraisers.

I returned last Feb and conducted our first cooking & sewing workshops. With the help of my partners and public fundraising we equipped the centre with two ovens, and a water tank, but most importantly, we taught 120 women how use the ovens to and make a variety of recipes. We used readily available ingredients and kept the focus on ways to increase earning potential for each woman . Each of these women, likely to pass their knowledge to three more women when she returns home, making the impact reach estimate 480 women and girls.
In addition we used the centre to run clinics (I was a nurse in a former life before becoming a chef) to engage expectant mothers and health workers, provide birthing kits and raise discussion surrounding safe birth practices. My focus was initially maternal health and upskilling of women, but the response from the entire community was overwhelming it grew to envelop general sanitation and health conversations.
I have since been invited to Lovongai community by to deliver the same workshops and more June (next month).

My team and partners are focussing training in:
- cooking
- sewing
- carpentry & joinery
- sustainable conservation of resources
- outboard engine maintenance
- solor installation
- solar water pump install
