Who We Are

Morigaon Mahila Mehfil (MMM) was established in 1979 through the initiative of a group of women with the vision of strengthening civil society, addressing community needs, facilitating opportunities, providing life-saving services, and creating a better and safer place to live.

In 1980, with the encouragement, support, and initiative of Late Mofizuddin Ahmed, Late Ambia Khatun, and Late Nazimuddin Ahmed, the organization was formally registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) under the name Morigaon Mahila Mehfil (MMM).
