Maam Ndeyy Mbogne Ndoye

Extraordinary women

The Maam Ndeyy Mbogne Ndoye Foundation, also known as the Maam Ndeyy Foundation, honours the memory, voluntary service and sacrifices of the first generation of midwives in Senegal and across Africa. Many women deserve to be remembered, and we sincerely apologise if we have unintentionally omitted any names. As examples of these courageous and pioneering women, we honour Maam Ndeyy Mbogne Ndoye (1897–1996) and Maam Fama Sary.

Inspired by these remarkable women, the Foundation provides assistance to pregnant women and mothers, supports women more broadly, helps children from disadvantaged backgrounds through education, vocational training and sports opportunities, and assists older people.
