A few weeks ago, Mother's Heart's staff in Phnom Penh gathered for an activity where we learned a new planning and evaluation tool called the Theory of Change that will help us define and refine our long-term strategic goals.
The Theory of Change (ToC) is a new concept for us at Mother's Heart. We are grateful to Mr. Tek Sophath, M and E Specialist, for facilitating the training/workshop, for introducing us to the concept of Theory of Change, touching on the difference between ToC and the logframe (which we are currently using), as well as guiding us step by step to create our own ToC that will serve as a framework for Mother's Heart's future strategic planning. The activity also allowed the staff to converse thoughtfully, articulate what we think and ultimately share the same understanding of our goals, outcomes, and interventions.
Mother's Heart said thank you and goodbye to Ruthie Giovas two days ago. As our Case Manager for the last three years, Ruthie worked hard to ensure every woman who enters our door receives appropriate support and care necessary for her healing and stability. She has also been incredibly supportive and encouraging to our staff and we will surely miss her. Good luck and best wishes, Ruthie, wherever your next journey takes you. ❤️
We are celebrating our 10th anniversary!
Ten years ago, Mother’s Heart was born in a small, rented office room with a mission to help pregnant women.
Since then, we have seen many women from all walks of life enter our doors. Their stories are all different but there is one thing each woman has in common: she is in the midst of a crisis.
From a small staff of three, our numbers grew to 32 strong staff members and two offices in Phnom Penh and Battambang. We have impacted 1,380 lives since then, which includes mothers, their babies, and family members.
We thank you, our donors, supporters, and friends, for your faith in our vision. Through the years, you all have made what Mother’s Heart is today. Together, with your support and encouragement, we have helped change lives, one mother and baby at a time.
Borrowing words from @Katrina Gliddon, our Founding Director: "I cannot see what the future holds but I know Who holds our future..."
We look forward to what the next ten years have in store for us.
