THE MISSION Mamatoto Village is devoted to serving Black womxn through the creation of career pathways in maternal health; and providing accessible perinatal support services designed to equip womxn with the necessary tools to make the most informed decisions in their maternity care, parenting, and lives. THE VISION By offering creative solutions to combating health disparities for moms, babies, and their families, Mamatoto Village's innovative approach increases awareness, fosters a space for resilience and building upon women's strengths, and encourages the family to adopt healthy lifestyles that promote community transformation. We believe that the right to health and self-preservation according to one’s own will is a basic human right; therefore, if women, due to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or citizenship status, lack access to the information and tools they need to preserve their lives; the lives of their children; and long-term interests, then it is considered a violation of their rights as humans. Mamatoto Village is dedicated to acting towards the cause of reproductive justice in the best capacity possible. Additionally, we believe that women can be strengthened by other women from their own communities to give rise to a more cohesive and supportive environment for childrearing and family wellness.

Maverick Collective by PSI is a community of women philanthropists making catalytic investments in health and reproductive rights to elevate women and girls everywhere. Members collaborate closely with experts and consumers through a unique Experiential Philanthropy model that invites hands-on-engagement in the projects they fund. Projects are dedicated to achieving rapid innovation in global healthcare for women and girls for a more gender-equitable world. Founded in 2013 by PSI in partnership with Melinda French Gates and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Norway, Maverick Collective has mobilized over $100 million in resources and helped nearly 7 million people live healthier lives.

PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare — people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed. Our origins in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.
