The Fatmata Foundation is dedicated to empowering marginalised women, and women living with disabilities, to build lives full of, purpose, and overcome poverty. The Foundation’s program is built on the foundation of integrated pillars designed to achieve empowerment and economic independence for marginalised women and women living with disabilities. This approach ensures they are equipped with diverse skills for long-term success through intensive, market-aligned vocational training in sewing, instruction in essential digital and soft skills like entrepreneurship and professional ethics, communication, and sustained guidance. We don’t believe learning should stop in the classroom, which is why we pair every marginalised woman and women living with disabilities with a professional short term mentorship pathway for sustained guidance.
