Mama Cash is the oldest international women's fund - established in the Netherlands in 1983. She supports pioneering and innovative women's initiatives around the world, because she believes that social change starts with women and girls.

Since 1983 Mama Cash has subsidized more than 6.000 women's projects and has invested more than 30 million euros. She is active in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Worldwide women strive against poverty, violence and discrimination. They strive for equal rights, economic justice and a safe environment for themselves and their communities - often with little financial means and with admirable dedication. Mama Cash supports these women because she believes that everybody - women, men, and children - benefits from investments in women's rights and bettering the position of women.

In other words: Mama Cash believes in the power and ability of women to change the world.
