Our Most Passionate Team

The formal establishment of FOMWAG in 1997 gained critical momentum through the support of Mrs. Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings,
Ghana's First Lady and founder of the influential 31st December Women's Movement. This high-profile endorsement ensured FOMWAG's
rapid acceptance as the authoritative voice for Muslim women's affairs in Ghana.
