Our Mission & Vision
Address from our Ameerah
As we begin this tenure, I wish to emphasize three guiding principles that will shape our leadership: 1. Collective Responsibility – No single individual can achieve FOMWAN’s mission alone. We must work as a team, respecting our different strengths and complementing one another. 2. Continuity and Innovation – We will build on the solid foundation laid by our predecessors while introducing new approaches that respond to today’s realities. 3. Spiritual Grounding and Integrity. Our strength as a faith-based organization lies in our devotion to Allah (SWT). Let us anchor every decision, action, and program in Taqwa, transparency, and accountability.
