Meem Foundation was launched in 2023 by UAE-based philanthropist, Muna Easa Al Gurg. At Meem Foundation, we believe in a holistic, innovative approach in addressing the unique challenges faced by women and girls in the Middle East & North Africa.
Know moreWomen in the Middle East make up half of the total population. Despite improvements, a deep gender gap persists across the region. Aside from life expectancy and education attainment, men outpace women in nearly all human development indicators, including labour market participation, political participation, economic empowerment and access to justice.
At Meem Foundation, we believe in creating sustainable social change in the lives of women and girls in the Middle East & North Africa.
