🌸 Happy Women's Day from Clover Mama Afrika! 🌸

Today, we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and love of women everywhere, especially our amazing Clover Mamas. These phenomenal women are the heartbeat of their communities, dedicating their lives to nurturing, uplifting, and empowering those around them.

From teaching valuable skills and providing essential services to fostering hope and creating opportunities, our Clover Mamas are true heroines. Their unwavering commitment to making a difference inspires us all.

Let's honour and appreciate the women in our lives today and every day. Happy Women's Day to all the remarkable women out there! 💖

In Khayelitsha, Mama Nolitha Ndalasi runs an egg-laying project that makes a significant impact in her community. With the eggs from her hens, she bakes daily, boils eggs for sale, and offers fresh eggs to the community. "Eggs are like having meat for people in my community who can’t afford to buy meat. I am supplying that much-needed protein to my community."

Her team, led by Mamvulane, ensures the egg-laying batteries are clean and the chickens are well-fed and watered every day.

🌟 Mama Rina Malan is a woman of many talents. A passionate mosaic artist herself, she dedicates her time to teaching the youth, especially those with disabilities, the intricate art of mosaic. These young individuals may take weeks to complete a project, but they approach it with immense love and precision.

Here are some stunning examples of their recent mosaic work, a testament to their dedication and the expert guidance of Mama Rina. No one is prouder than Mama Rina, who has instilled in them not only the skills but also the joy of creating art.

From Khayelitsha, Mama Nolitha Ndalasi has created a steady income with her ice-making machine, providing a much-needed product to her community. Now, community members no longer have to walk far for a cold drink or ice for their functions. Mama Nolitha is right around the corner, and everyone is delighted to have easy access to ice.

🌟 Meet Mama Albertina Bloko: A Beacon of Love and Courage 🌟

At the Tyilulwazi Centre for the Disabled, Mama Albertina stands as a pillar of strength and compassion. When she saw differently-abled children in her community being isolated and hidden away, she knew she had to act. In 2005, she founded a center to support these children and change their lives.

Mama Albertina provides quality nutrition from her organic food garden and early learning stimulation. Her dedication inspires the children to exceed their perceived limitations. She offers a safe environment where they can practice various skills, including knitting, baking biscuits, arts, hand sewing, and beadwork.

At over 80 years old, Mama Glenrose Mashiqa is still passionately teaching at Funulwazi School in Mdantsane, East London. Recently, Prof. Elain visited the school to check in on her, only to find she was at home, grieving the loss of a family member.

Visiting her at home turned into a heartwarming moment, as Mama Glenrose was overjoyed to see Prof. Elain at her door! Despite everything, she continues to bake, arrange flowers, and knit, keeping her volunteers engaged and always needing more wool for their projects.

🌿 "Farming is my life! As someone deeply connected to the land, I believe my livelihood stems from it. These vegetables are my harvest. I use horses to uplift the potatoes, and through sheer hard work, I've achieved a bountiful produce. I hire ten temporary workers to assist me, and they are delighted to take home a generous selection of vegetables.“ – Mama Doris Ndingane, Keiskammahoek
