Continuing the late president’s legacy of democracy, justice and peace
About Us
The Morsi Foundation for Democracy (MFD) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organisation, founded by friends from around the world and the family of Egypt’s first democratically elected President, the late Dr Mohammed Morsi. As the first civilian President in the history of Egypt, President Morsi was a strong believer and advocate of democracy, freedom, the rule of law and the rights of people. In the face of threats to his own life, he confronted the military coup, tyranny and state corruption; he remained steadfast and committed to the democratic path until his last breath. President Morsi was both a pioneer and a formidable leader of the Arab Spring revolutions that sought to bring about the end to dictatorships and corrupt regimes in the Middle East.
