Providing a Brighter Future

Since 2010, the Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative has supported underserved communities across Afghanistan – turning traditional skills into sustainable livelihoods, and opportunity into lasting dignity. With women making up around 70% of its employees, FBMI helps people build skills, support their families and create long-term change from within.

About Us

FBMI works across four pillars – Arts & Culture, Education, Health and Strategic Advisory – empowering over one million people through a self-sustaining social enterprise.

Enterprises

FBMI’s enterprises turn the Initiative’s mission into active, self-sustaining models. Across craft, food, diplomacy, retail and community-led business, each enterprise creates market access, supports livelihoods and reinvests value back into the wider FBMI ecosystem.

Education

Through Education, FBMI supports learning as a route to independence – from full-time schooling for employees’ children to adult literacy, vocational training and life skills for women. By investing in both children and adults, this initiative helps break cycles of limited opportunity and creates impact that carries into the next generation.
