Our families are selected, trained, certified, and supported to host travelers and students from all around the world.
WHAT WE DO FOR THESE FAMILIES
WHAT DO WE DO FOR THEM BEFORE THEY WELCOME TRAVELERS?
Being on site gives us the expertise to identify the most vulnerable large families, on whom we focus our efforts.
We take several months to get to know the families and their stories before starting the journey. This way, we make sure to work with committed and, above all, trustworthy families.
We purchase materials and equipment for the families. This significantly improves their living and housing conditions, allowing them to host travelers and earn an income from accommodation.
We provide training on hygiene and safety rules. This empowers the families and ensures that travelers enjoy their experience in good conditions.
WHAT DO WE DO FOR THE FAMILIES WHILE THEY ARE HOSTING TRAVELERS?
We take care of all the administrative aspects, from communication and reservation management to check-in. We ensure these families can carry out the homestay activity in good conditions.
Throughout their journey with Call Me Mami, we engage the community in solidarity actions: sponsorship system, online fundraising, donation-based purchases, solidarity shopping bags. We have a range of initiatives that allow everyone to help these families at any given moment.
We help them open new horizons and support them in their future projects. We engage our network of travelers to assist them when needed, or to organize foreign language courses, for example.
WE OFFER ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
LARGE FAMILIES
BY HOSTING TRAVELERS !
While visiting the Comuna 13, Thomas meets a mother who was selling donuts with her children.
This mother spontaneously offers to host him at her home in the barrio (favela).
Moved by this incredible immersive experience and the golden hospitality of this family, Thomas falls in love with this barrio, the popular Colombian atmosphere, and decides, 3 years later, to leave everything behind to embark on this humanitarian project.
Thomas decides to focus this project on the mothers of this neighborhood and vulnerable large families.
Many of them are alone in raising their children, and under precarious economic conditions.
LITTLE BY LITTLE,
CALL ME MAMI HOSTAL WAS BORN…
Call me Mami Hostal is an initiative led by a Frenchman, THOMAS, who left everything in France to help Colombian families in a poor neighborhood (Barrio) of Medellin.
