We don't compete, We collaborate

Female Founders Initiative - Middle East and Africa (FFI-MEA) is a women economic empowerment, nonprofit organisation focused on giving female business leaders access to international markets. We are a transformative community that helps women and girls move from limited power, voice, and choice at home and in the economy to having the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to compete equitably in markets.

​

Our mission revolves around assisting women in the Middle East and Africa region in starting, building, and acquiring funding for their startup companies. We proudly collaborate with UN Women and align ourselves with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for African women. These goals encompass a wide range of important issues: 

  • Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.

  • Promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, ensuring full and productive employment, and fostering decent work for all.

  • Striving for a high standard of living, quality of life, and well-being for all citizens.

  • Working towards a united Africa, whether through a federal or confederate structure, by establishing frameworks and institutions that promote unity and prosperity.

  • Preserving peace, security, and stability, and actively working towards the maintenance and preservation of peace and security.

  • Advocating for full gender equality in all spheres of life, ensuring that women and girls have equal opportunities and rights.

  • Empowering women and girls by providing them with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive.

  • Combating violence and discrimination against women and girls, ensuring their safety and well-being.
