A Story of Love, Purpose & Community
Mama'Yeya Inc was founded in 2019 in the South Bronx — named in honor of our mother, whose life has been a testament to selfless service, love, and dedication to her community. What began as a heartfelt tribute has grown into a thriving nonprofit organization serving women, mothers, and vulnerable families across our neighborhood.
Our work centers on supporting women — particularly mothers and elderly women — by helping them improve their quality of life, become more self-sufficient, and gain access to opportunities that allow them to continue their personal development with dignity and peace of mind.
Through our programs and community initiatives, we create spaces where women can receive guidance, resources, and support that empower them to move forward in their lives. From one-on-one assistance to community-wide events, we show up consistently, compassionately, and with purpose.
