“I have had the pleasure of visiting the BOMA Project in Kenya and was so impressed by their work. I was mostly amazed by their staff. They are not only knowledgeable, highly competent, and resourceful, but they bring a level of dedication that only comes with being from the communities they serve. They are the secret sauce to this very powerful program!”

“I work with hundreds of non-profits, and I’m continually impressed not just by how BOMA uses technology for data collection ad program monitoring in someone the world’s most challenging environments, but how BOMA thinks about technology as a tool to achieve impact. BOMA is at the cutting edge of leveraging technology to accelerate social impact.”

“Dining for Women reviews hundreds of organizations that support women in the developing world. We love BOMA because they provide reports that demonstrate the impact of our donations on families’ daily nutrition, living conditions and education. Most importantly, they share our commitment to fostering women’s economic independence.”

“Last year we made the long journey to the distant lands where BOMA operate. In our pre-trip desk analysis, we had focused on businesses, grants, impact and scalability. On the ground we saw women, hope, success and inspiration. If only the wider world could see the difference BOMA is making in a place that many have forgotten even exists.”

“We are thrilled to make a multi-year investment in BOMA, and its measurable and impactful approach towards creating dignity and self-reliance amongst women. We are impressed with BOMA’s commitment to the most impoverished people, the organization’s vision for scale, and its thoughtful approach to mitigating risk.”

“It’s a privilege to partner with social entrepreneurs who take on the very hardest challenges to solve. I’ve always marvelled at how BOMA’s program empowers thousands of ultra-poor women, at the epicentre of climate change, to create a better future for themselves. I admire that BOMA is never satisfied with helping a few families a little bit.”

“BOMA’s gender-focused approach to building resilience in ultra-poor communities in eastern Africa has demonstrated not only proof that the model works but evidence that it can be scaled for major impact. Their rigorous commitment to data-driven results and their dedication to helping one million women and children overcome extreme poverty by 2022 made them a great fit for RA5’s portfolio.”

“This is an organization that gets it. Kathleen C. the founder is full of energy, full of passion and so bright and hardworking you can't help but like her and her team. They are fully committed to doing what they do and making a difference. They laugh, they cry, they dream and they tirelessly do things to bring smiles and a better life to forgotten women. They are extraordinary because they truly change lives!”
