Who we are

A family you can find anywhere in America

FAMSO, Fulani Association of America, was born from a simple truth: arriving in a new country is hard. Finding people who understand your language, your food, your values, and your way of life should not take months of searching.

We are a network of Fulani brothers and sisters across the United States, here to welcome, guide, and stand with every Fulani who comes to this country, before they arrive, the day they land, and for all the years after.

Pulaaku Our code of honor
Njamou Health and peace

A word from our president

"Every Fulani who lands in America
should land in family."

I know what it feels like to arrive in this country with your whole life packed into two suitcases, carrying your mother's prayers, your father's hopes, and the weight of everyone you left behind. I know the silence of those first nights, when the city is loud but nothing speaks your language.

FAMSO exists so that no Fulani person ever has to feel that silence again. We are herders by heritage. We have crossed deserts and rivers for a thousand years, and we never crossed them alone. That is who we are. Whether you arrived yesterday or twenty years ago, whether you are from Guinea, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon, Nigeria, or anywhere our people call home. Here, you have brothers. Here, you have sisters. Here, the door is already open.

Come as you are. Bring your dreams. We will build the rest together, insha'Allah.

Be a founding member

This community is being built right now,
and you can shape it.

FAMSO was created because one person spent six months searching for their community and could not find them. We are making sure no Fulani person ever has to go through that again. Join us as a founding member and help build something that will serve thousands.

“

I arrived in Nashville with two bags and no idea where to go. Through FAMSO I found a Fulani family who let me stay with them for two weeks while I found my footing.

Before I even left Douala, I was already in contact with a FAMSO member in Washington. My first week in America felt nothing like I expected, in the best way.
