Mama Africa is a charity organization founded by the Rollfinke family.

The main mission is delivering sustainability to Africa and help the people to help themselves.

The main tool and key for sustainability is education. Within the GiveDIrect CIRCLE Mama Africa offers Free education for Africans.

GiveDIrect TRAINING is the unit that delivers the content and organizes the studies in the GiveDirect CIRCLE.

In GiveDIrect TRAINING the students qualify for their next step which is

GiveDIrect WORK.

After successfully absolving a given course combination students can apply to join the GiveDIrect WORK team.

After absolving successfully the training they are members of GiveDIrect WORK and join the platform where payed work orders will be posted. Also in co-operation with Angels GiveDIrect LTD, Kenya, job search and headhunting will be done.

If a student doesn't want to become employee but wants to be entrepreneur, he/she may join

GiveDIrect INVEST.

Here the GiveDIrect CIRCLE offers risk capital by business angels with a strong support for the new founded start-up.

As life shows… things can happen. And here comes the 4th element

GiveDIrect HELP.

If unexpected problems appear, eg. accident or health case, no money for data bundles, a new laptop or mobile is needed, there's GiveDIrect HELP to apply for a loan. All loan applications are checked by the HELP checkers group to verify the necessity and truthfulness of the application.

If the check is positive, the applicant gets the necessary amount from the Sponsoring group and has to pay back without interest (inflation rate has to be covered) within 5 years.

To receive help, some points have to be fulfilled, which are checked in the membership file. Necessary is a previous active participation as a volunteer and social engagement in our community. Mama Africa sees itself as a community and not only as an association. This requires a corresponding behavior, which is recorded in the membership file. Therefore, volunteers who are also students are given preference in the approval process. Only those funds can be spent that have been raised through sponsorship and budgeted for the appropriate period.

Beside the GiveDIrect CIRCLE Mama Africa initiates several sustainability projects.
