Alongside his businesses, Mouhamad is committed to philanthropy and community empowerment. Driven by a strong sense of duty to give back to his country of birth, he founded the MRD Foundation to expand access to healthcare, education, and social welfare in Senegal, supporting communities in building sustainable, self-determined futures.
