The Power of Partnerships: Advancing MDF’s Mission
At the Mo Dewji Foundation, partnerships are at the heart of our mission to drive sustainable development and positive change in Tanzania. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, businesses, and institutions, we amplify our impact and create innovative solutions that address critical needs in education, healthcare, and water access. Our partnerships enable us to leverage diverse expertise, resources, and networks to build a brighter, more equitable future for all Tanzanians. Together, we are stronger and more capable of making a lasting difference.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
King’s Trust International
Founded by His Majesty King Charles III to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment, The King’s Trust International has been supporting young people worldwide since 2015.
The Trust is committed to amplifying the voices of young people on the global stage, and they have supported over 100,000 young people since their inception through partnerships with organizations like MDF. With programs present in 20+ countries within the Commonwealth and beyond, their impact spans Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe.
“By signing this pledge, I hope to inspire my peers, fellow Africans, and citizens of the world to take a close look at the funds they truly need to maintain their families versus their ability to give. We all have a moral obligation as the more affluent in society to give back as best we know how.
- Mohammed “Mo” Dewji

The Giving Pledge
The Giving Pledge is a simple concept: an open invitation for the wealthiest among us to publicly commit to giving the majority of their wealth to philanthropy either during their lifetimes or after. Started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, The Giving Pledge is comprised of more than 240 of the world’s wealthiest individuals, from 29 different countries, all of whom convene annually to strategize solutions to pressing challenges facing the globe today.
In 2016, MDF Founder Mohammed Dewji signed the Giving Pledge, committing to donate at least half of his fortune to philanthropy. Mr. Dewji is one of four African signatories of the pledge, demonstrating his leadership in philanthropy on the African Continent.
Georgetown Pivot Program
Launched in 2018, the Georgetown Pivot Program is a professional development program for career-oriented individuals who have previously been incarcerated in the United States. Through rigorous classroom training and hands-on work experience, Pivot Fellows discover potential vocational paths and develop the skills needed to succeed in both the workplace and as leaders in their communities.
MDF proudly funds the Georgetown Pivot Program, recognizing its significant impact on the Georgetown community and its transformative influence on the lives of incarcerated Black Americans. This independent initiative demonstrates MDF’s commitment to empowering individuals through education and career advancement.
