‘Ma’Mara Sakit’ is a South Sudanese Arabic phrase that loosely translates to ‘not just a woman.’
The entity focuses on generating, raising, and facilitating sustainable funding processes for feminist informal groups, networks, and small organizations that funding agencies often discriminate against due to perceptions regarding their limited institutional capacity or registration status.
Our Programs
Our Objectives
A South Sudan where every person feels valued and dignified with the utmost autonomy and control over their lives.

Community means standing together with solidarity and coalition. The core understanding is that we as feminists exist as a collective and thus shape our relations, beliefs, values, actions, and plans.
We truthfully and honestly walk the talk. We question ourselves with the utmost self-awareness internally as much as we challenge the oppressive systems—accountability to ourselves, the community, our allies, and our supporters.
We believe the communities we work with are the experts in their experiences. We approach our work with humility, knowing every step is a learning opportunity.
We embody what we ask of others. We are authentic and committed to doing and living by our feminist principles, constantly checking privileges, and challenging our biases and internalized oppression.
We believe caring for self is fundamental for healing and sustaining our emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological being. It enables us to stay rooted and committed to the constantly triggering and emotionally taxing work of dismantling the patriarchy.
Ma’Mara Sakit Village is a feminist community that amplifies voices and creates platforms and opportunities to facilitate processes that contribute to the attainment of individual and collective agency using research, art, culture, and multimedia.
