Population(s) Served

In Zambia, mothers who are pregnant or have toddlers under four while incarcerated are allowed to keep their babies with them, but the prison does not provide food, clothing, or learning materials. Help these mothers give the best start possible to these children that they love who are starting life in very hard circumstances. Give a kit with essentials – meals, support, mentoring for the mothers – and keep a precious child healthy, nurtured, and learning!

Infants and toddlers

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
