Amdalah Africa Foundation – AMDAF
Established in 2019, the Amdalah Africa Foundation – AMDAF is a registered charity in Ireland dedicated to promoting social inclusion, integration, recognition, justice, and support for migrant women and their families. As a company limited by guarantee without capital share, AMDAF operates with a commitment to fostering an equitable society where migrant women can thrive.
We adopt Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals, by promoting all actions to eliminate root causes of discriminations against women of African descent in public and private spheres – to achieve gender equality and empower them.
At AMDAF, the term ‘Migrant Women’ encompasses a broad spectrum of individuals, including recent immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. It also includes migrant workers, students, trafficked women, and undocumented women. Additionally, it refers to those who have acquired Irish citizenship but still feel outside the mainstream society due to their linguistic, racial, or cultural backgrounds. These women continue to identify as Migrants, reflecting their ongoing journey towards full integration and acceptance within Irish society
