In January 2010, the Arab International Women’s Forum was delighted to announce an exclusive agreement to make PepsiCo, AIWF’s first and only partner with Benefactor status. The agreement was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at a Signing Ceremony on 4 January 2010 in Dubai, UAE and signed by Mrs Haifa Fahoum Al Kaylani, Founder Chairman, the Arab International Women’s Forum and Mr Saad Abdul - Latif, President PepsiCo AMEA in the presence of H.E. Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, the UAE Minister for Foreign Trade and a valued founding Member of the AIWF Board of Trustees.
The MOU underscores the long-standing relationship between AIWF and PepsiCo, which began in 2002 in which they share a common determination to break stereotypical views of women and create greater public awareness of their capabilities and potential internationally.
