Global Dignity Fund

The Global Dignity Fund (GDF) is an emerging project of Karama that aims to empower women economically so they can participate fully in civic and political life. The Dignity Fund aims to achieve this by creating jobs for women, advancing female entrepreneurship, and providing job skills and leadership training. Founded by Ms. Hibaaq Osman, Founder of Karama and Co-Founder of the Think Tank for Arab Women, and Dr. Diane Osgood, a globally recognized expert in corporate sustainability, GDF combines global vision with extensive regional expertise.

Established as an immediate, concrete, and lasting response to the Arab Spring, the GDF team will work with partners throughout the region to identify and respond to immediate needs and longer-term sustainable business opportunities.
