The news fell in early October: the MaMaMa association,
which comes to the aid of isolated women and their children, is assigned to justice. The Mixed Economy Company (SEM) Plaine Commune Development, public developer of 93 including Saint-Denis, asks the court of Bobigny “to order the expulsion of the MaMaMa association and all occupants of its leader,with the assistance of the police if necessary”. The case was to be decided this Thursday at the Bobigny court is postponed to January 13.
La MaMaMa occupied a hangar of 1,200 square meters, lent by the town hall of Saint-Denis for two years.
In December 2021 the town hall of Saint-Denis decided to claim a rent of 18,000 euros per month for the occupation of the premises. A sum that the association cannot pay.
70,000 single mothers and infants supported for two years
This association was launched in March 2020, in full confinement
, by four young Ile-de-France women, in particular nurses, who realized in the midst of a health crisis that single mothers had difficulty feeding their babies, some were using rice water to replace breast milk that they no longer had the ways to buy. So the co-founders knocked on the doors of stores, associations and potential sponsors to collect food and deliver it to health centres, PMIs and other structures that welcome these women in distress.
