About Us

Who We Are

The Fonteh Foundation was established to honor the enduring legacy of Mami S.N. Fonteh and Papa L.C. Fonteh, whose lives reflected compassion, service, and dedication to uplifting others. Built on these pillars, the Foundation actively supports vulnerable groups—orphans, widows, students, persons facing financial insecurity, and underserved communities both locally and abroad

Today, the Fonteh Foundation stands as a testament to their enduring influence. Through our programs and initiatives, we honor their memory by creating pathways of hope, dignity, and progress for the communities they cared for so deeply
