About

Nyasha’s Promise is committed to alleviating resource-based and emotional pressures on unhoused mothers in New York State by celebrating childbirth. Through resource redistribution, community building, and parent education, we aim to prevent system involvement and improve the long-term health and well-being of mother and child

Support

  • Mutual Aid

    Through community-driven events across NYC and Long Island, we bring together families and local partners to surround these mothers with warmth, resources, and understanding. We strive to create a sense of stability and belonging, helping mothers access the essentials they need to prepare for the arrival of their babies, while ensuring they never feel alone in their journey.

  • Healing & Wellness

    We center peer advocates who have lived experience navigating healthcare and social systems to lead our “Know Your Rights” and stress management workshops. Because they have personally faced the challenges within these systems, our peer advocates bring authenticity, empathy, and practical wisdom that deeply resonates with participants. Through their guidance, expecting mothers gain the tools to advocate for themselves, manage stress, and make informed choices about their care. This peer-led approach creates empowering spaces of shared learning, trust, and community strength.
