Governance Practice

Clear leadership, responsible records, and community accountability.

SAMI Foundation keeps its official internal documents private and uses them for leadership, registration, accountability, and committee guidance. Public enquiries about governance or partnership can be made through the contact page.

Leadership Responsibility

The committee and leadership team guide decisions, protect the foundation’s purpose, and ensure members understand their roles.

Financial Accountability

Requisitions, receipts, donation records, and activity reports are used to support transparent use of funds and resources.

Beneficiary Dignity

Mothers and children are treated with respect, confidentiality, consent, and safeguarding awareness in all foundation activities.

Governance for Larger Projects

Strong governance will protect the bigger dream.

As SAMI Foundation grows towards larger projects and possible facility-based work exceeding €250,000 in future phases, accountability will become even more important. The foundation will need clear approvals, proper records, safeguarding procedures, financial controls, donor reporting, monitoring, and transparent leadership.

This ensures that every donation, facility, training activity, and family-support service is handled responsibly and in line with the foundation’s mission.

Governance priorities

  • Clear committee approvals for major decisions.
  • Documented finance, requisition, and receipt systems.
  • Safeguarding for children, mothers, and vulnerable families.
  • Monthly reporting, donor reports, and activity records.
  • Responsible partnerships for special needs and family support.

Support a mother. Uplift a child with special needs. Strengthen a family.

Partner with SAMI Foundation to help mothers care for children with special needs while building dignity, stability, and sustainable livelihoods.
