About MMH Hope

Mama Makeka House of Hope (MMH Hope) was established in 2002 in memory of Mama Makeka Rebecca. Throughout her life, Mama Makeka believed that there was always room for other people around her table and in her life.  MMH Hope has adopted her motto as our own: “There is always room for one more”.  It is largely this generosity of hers that inspires us, but we are also inspired by the Anabaptist principles by which she lived in the context of the Frères Mennonites Community in which she lived and ministered.

Our Mission
