The Daughters of Mũmbi Global Resource Center is an independent, non-partisan, non-ethnic network inspired by values drawn from four meanings of Mũmbi in the Gĩkũyũ language and culture:
Creator -
connecting to the environment which must 'include human beings as a species worth saving';
Clan -
pledging to build united, just, & caring communities and relationships at all levels;
First Mother -
honoring women's roles in anchoring family & community and
linking to our respective diverse cultural roots; and
Potter -
recognizing dignity in the work of our hands, especially women's work and creativity.
