About Us

History

The journey of the M4C Foundation began in 2014 at the University of Texas at Dallas, where Samira Maddox and her friends envisioned creating a supportive community for Muslim women. This idea initially took shape as a sorority named Muslimahs for Change (M4C).

However, to align with traditional Greek naming conventions, the sorority was renamed Mu Delta Alpha. Under Mu Delta Alpha, the organization achieved significant milestones, including organizing leadership summits for girls and establishing the Sakina Home and Education Center in Isolo, Kenya. Recognizing the need to clearly distinguish between sorority activities and broader community initiatives, the decision was made in 2023 to re-establish the original vision of M4C as a foundation.

Our Mission

The M4C Foundation is dedicated to helping girls in underserved communities and orphans globally get access to education, hygiene, and nutrition. We bring together women to break down barriers to these basic needs, fostering opportunities and a brighter future for all.

Our Vision

The M4C Foundation envisions a world where every girl in underserved communities and orphans have their basic needs met in education, hygiene, and nutrition, leading to economic empowerment and a brighter future.

The LILY Framework: Our Unique Approach

At the M4C Foundation, all of our programs and events are organized under the acronym LILY, symbolizing the stages of growth and transformation akin to the lily flower. Each aspect of LILY represents a core focus area that guides our mission to support girls in underserved communities and orphans globally.

Meet Our Founder: Samira Maddox

Samira’s journey from an orphaned girl to the founder of M4C Foundation is a testament to the power of opportunity and support. With a background in Speech-Language Pathology and an MBA, Samira combines her academic expertise with a profound personal understanding of the challenges faced by the girls we serve.

“Every girl has the potential to achieve her God-given capabilities. As an orphan myself, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of support and education. M4C Foundation is not just an organization; it’s a movement to ensure every girl has the chance I was given.”
Samira Maddox, Founder
