At Fountains of Hope Discipleship Ministries (FOHDM), we believe that gender equality and inclusive governance are the foundations of a just, peaceful, and thriving society.
We are committed to building communities where women’s voices and leadership are recognized, respected, and represented in every sphere of life.
We envision a future where women and men lead together, share equal opportunities, and shape decisions that affect their lives and communities.
