Participation in a nonprofit community shaped by mothers
Financial difficulties should not prevent a mother from belonging. Mothers who need support can contact us confidentially to request an individual social arrangement.

The Mama Vida Club creates multilingual spaces where mothers can move, learn, share, connect and feel that they belong.

Motherhood was never meant to be lived in isolation. Our work is about rebuilding the kind of village many mothers no longer have around them.
Why Mama Vida

Community can change the experience of motherhood.

Many mothers live far away from their families, languages, cultures and original support networks. Others may be surrounded by people and still feel emotionally alone.

The Mama Vida Club creates welcoming, multilingual and low-threshold spaces rooted in the real everyday lives of mothers. Our programmes combine movement, friendship, practical knowledge, cultural exchange and opportunities to ask for support without shame.

Babies and children are part of the community rather than a barrier to participation. Mothers can arrive as they are, take part at their own pace and gradually build meaningful connections.

01

Movement & Mental Wellbeing

Dance and gentle movement support joy, confidence, body connection and emotional wellbeing in everyday motherhood.

02

Friendship & Belonging

Shared activities create natural opportunities for mothers to meet, speak openly and build supportive friendships.

03

Language & Participation

Multilingual programmes and Mama Tandem help mothers practise German, share cultures and participate more confidently in life in Vienna.

04

Health & Practical Support

Accessible health information, workshops and trusted cooperation partners help mothers navigate everyday questions and find professional support when needed.

Every mother deserves dignity, connection and a place in the community.

Financial situation, language, origin, family structure or personal circumstances should never determine whether a mother is allowed to belong.

Our community partners

Partners who help us build the village.

Our community grows through partnerships rooted in generosity, dignity and shared responsibility. These partners help us create meaningful experiences that remain accessible to mothers and families in Vienna.

Food & Community Partner

Food, culture and belonging

Prosi

Prosi supports The Mama Vida Club by helping us bring food, culture and a feeling of home into our community activities. Their contribution allows mothers from different countries to connect through familiar flavours, shared meals and international products.

Food is more than nourishment. For mothers living far from their countries and families, it can also mean memory, identity, comfort and belonging.

Memories, dignity and family connection

Another Perspective Family Photography

Vinko, photographer at Another Perspective Family Photography, accompanies our community events and helps ensure that every mother has the opportunity to receive a meaningful photographic memory with her children.

Every mother deserves to be part of the memory, regardless of whether she can afford a professional family photography session.

Would you like to help create meaningful opportunities for mothers?

We welcome partnerships with companies, organisations and professionals who share our commitment to community, inclusion and accessible support. Partners may contribute food, drinks, venues, services, materials, expertise, photography, health knowledge or financial sponsorship.

Thank you to every partner who chooses to invest in mothers, families and community. Your support helps transform individual activities into lasting experiences of dignity, connection and belonging.

How it works

From a first activity to real community.

Every mother can enter the community at her own pace. There is no pressure to know anyone, speak perfect German or have previous experience.

01

Choose an activity

Find a dance class, shared lunch, workshop, language exchange, health event or community circle that feels right for you.

02

Come as you are

No special experience is required. Babies and children are welcome at many activities, and mothers can participate at their own pace.

03

Build connection

Through movement, conversation and shared experiences, mothers naturally create friendships, confidence and support networks.

04

Become part of the village

Stay connected through membership, Mama Tandem, community groups, recurring activities, workshops and special family events.

Mothers do not need to arrive confident, connected or fully prepared. The community is here to create space for connection to grow naturally.
