When Munira, the force behind Kina Mama, had her first child, she felt the lack of support one would typically receive in her native Uganda, where there is a very strong tradition of new mothers being looked after within the community. The language of love and care between neighbours was food; she recalls the nourishing warmth of uji (porridge) being brought to women in her family and of traditional remedies being prepared. Now living in London, gone was the familiarity of knowing her neighbours and of being able to depend on them.
Kina Mama is a group of women that focuses on supporting mothers. Our aim is to bring together women from different backgrounds, religions and nationalities, to unite and create a strong community from which we can help, empower and strengthen one another.
Our goal is to bring back traditional holistic wisdom from generations of mothers from Africa and the East through our recipes. We want to take the African proverb ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and re-integrate it back into modern society.
Kina Mama will provide positive lifestyle changes through food and sisterhood. We’re a diverse committed team of woman who pride ourselves on being advocates for female empowerment and believe that we can make changes in our community.
We offer a variety of food services, including:
