Foundation for Women (MFW)

Foundation for Women (MFW) is a women- and youth-focused organization based in The Gambia, dedicated to empowering women and young people through leadership, entrepreneurship, skills development, economic opportunities, and strategic partnerships.
Founded and led by Madam Fatoumata Jawara, Founder & CEO and Global Chief of Strategic Partnerships and Relations, MFW advocates for women's empowerment, youth development, economic growth, leadership, and social change.
The Foundation focuses on agribusiness, trade, food processing, training, entrepreneurship, empowerment, and market access, helping women and youth build sustainable livelihoods and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
In 2026, Madam Fatoumata Jawara led an MFW delegation to the International Forum for Women Leadership and Entrepreneurship in Senegal, reflecting the organization's growing recognition as a credible force for women's empowerment and entrepreneurship in The Gambia and beyond.
