M.A.N.A. PASEFIKA

Story of transition
Statement from M.A.N.A. Pasefika : We thank SisterWeb for watering the seed of M.A.N.A. for the last 3 years and all of the community organizations and providers who worked closely with us to transform the landscape of perinatal care for Pacific Islander families in San Francisco
As we transition into being an independent organization, we come back to our core mission which is to “Maintain Ancestral kNowledge and Autonomy” and we look forward to our new horizon with joy knowing that we have community support in our continued endeavor to provide service BY US & FOR US.
For the time being M.A.N.A. will focus on supporting our mamas and families in our Prenatal & Postpartum Groups and by training our family & community members to become Birth Navigators themselves. Please keep in touch with us via IG or our email: manapasefika415@gmail.com.
Fatima joined M.A.N.A. Pasefika in 2021 and breathed new life into the program with her enthusiasm for supporting our Pasefika families and her commitment to creating relatable content that uplifts our cultures. She will continue to be an integral part M.A.N.A. outside of SisterWeb as we navigate these new waters.
