Maimah Karmo - Founder, Tigerlily Foundation


A True Symbol of Empowerment and Courage

In life we will often be tested and it is up to us to use the power that God has given us to be strong and to know that detours are necessary to keep us focused and to strengthen our resolve.

Maimah Karmo is a testament to living her life with courage. She’s like a lily of the valley with spreading roots and multitudes of beautiful buds. Those buds are the lives of the people that she touches everyday. She is using her life experiences to help other women affected by breast cancer to become strong and beautiful.

As a native of Liberia, Maimah and her family were caught up in two coups and as if that was not devastating enough, at the age of 32, Maimah discovered she had breast cancer. Even through those detours in her life, Maimah and her family remained strong and fearless.

Rosemarie Mbone Olive Enie


An Agent for Change

Her Vision? To be a catalyst for economic change and to help women become self-sufficient members of African society. Rosemary’s focus is to ensure that one of the most essential natural elements of life -- clean water -- is available to every citizen of every African nation.

Women play the most important role in keeping the family together but they lack the tools and education needed to improve their individual lives.

Rosemary has dedicated much of her adult life to helping women succeed in a nation where women are recognized as keepers of the family rather than participants in leadership roles. She is determined to bring Africa to a new level of sustainability by empowering women to become more involved in enhancing their self-sufficiency and enabling them to become greater contributors to the societies in which they live.
