Help us keep Mohamed Bah's legacy alive!

Founded by Hawa Bah — a mother seeking to honor her son by turning grief into purpose - the Mohamed Bah Legacy Project is cross-continental organization serving communities in both New York, USA and Guinea, West Africa.

Mohamed Bah was killed in his own home by NYPD officers in 2012, after his mother called 911 for an ambulance and cops arrived first. Since that time, Mrs. Bah has devoted her life to ending police violence and increasing well-being for her multi-national community.

Mohamed once said, "Mom, America is a great country, but everyone needs help." Those words guide everything the Legacy Project does.

Our programs provide job placement, mental health resources, food and clothing assistance to new immigrants in New York and medicines, supplies, and clean water in Mohamed’s homeland: we have already built 5 wells in West African villages. We also bridge the Guinean diaspora through cultural exchange trips.

Since 2013, through the Legacy Project, Mrs. Bah has also organized an annual dinner of Mohamed's favorite foods for the Harlem community.

We are currently seeking to raise $20,000 for a project to bring donated medical equipment from New York to Guinea.

Your donation helps us keep building bridges, creating hope, and carrying forward the legacy of a son whose spirit continues to inspire change.
