One mission: build the financing, policy, and institutions that ensure mothers survive, children thrive, and women lead the peace.

During Libya's revolution, women were keeping communities alive while being excluded from the formal political and peace process. Voice of Libyan Women began as an answer to that contradiction.

Dr. Murabit created Voice of Libyan Women at 21, in the middle of the Libyan revolution, and built a women's movement in a country that had outlawed one. VLW launched the Noor Campaign across Libya, pioneering a faith-rooted approach to inclusive security that has since been replicated internationally.

Every Ramadan, billions of dollars are given in zakat and sadaqah. Yet maternal and newborn health, one of the clearest expressions of saving a life, had never been intentionally designed into that financing ecosystem. Dr. Murabit saw an enormous source of capital that development had overlooked, not because it didn't exist, but because no one had built the architecture to connect it to maternal and child survival.

She created For Mama, now Every Pregnancy, to change that. It became the first zakat-certified collaborative for maternal and child health. It is now used by 50+ organizations every year to mobilize zakat, sadaqah, and Ramadan giving. In 2025, she spun For Mama out as an independent entity called Every Pregnancy and appointed a CEO to lead it.

Global goals often measure what is easiest, not what matters most. Peace, justice, and institutions shape every development outcome, yet they were at risk of being sidelined. Dr. Murabit co-architected the Sustainable Development Goals — fighting for the inclusion of Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and making sure the framework centered the people with the most to gain and the least voice. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed her UN SDG Advocate. Antonio Guterres reappointed her.

The SDGs now guide how 193 countries align trillions of dollars in public and private capital with measurable outcomes in health, education, security, and poverty reduction.

The money existed. Governments were committed. Philanthropy was engaged. What didn't exist was financing architecture that aligned all three. The Beginnings Fund emerged from that gap.

Dr. Murabit conceived and co-developed the largest collaborative philanthropic fund dedicated to maternal and newborn health in Africa. From the original idea to the case to leadership, to the architecture co-developed with partners across the Gates Foundation and beyond, targeting the highest-burden countries on the continent.

As inaugural Global Advocacy Director at the Gates Foundation, Dr. Murabit led a $1B+ portfolio spanning 21 health strategies and a team of 50+. She drove resource mobilization across the Foundation's major health financing platforms — Gavi, the Global Fund, CEPI — contributing to the $40B+ mobilized for global health and development. She created the Foundation's first global women's health advocacy strategy, led its programmatic assessment in fragile settings, and built its Fragile, Conflict & Violence community of practice.

Dr. Murabit advises governments, sovereign wealth funds, and multilateral institutions across 40+ countries on health financing, security architecture, women's leadership, and sustainable development. Senior external expert advisor to Bain & Company on financing, sustainability, health, resilience, and philanthropy strategies.

In 2025 Dr. Murabit created the Sustainable Growth practice at 500 Global — bringing venture and private-market capital to climate, development, and security across the economies that the global financial system has historically priced out.

The work spans venture capital, private equity, and sovereign-scale asset management — advising sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors, and structuring capital so that emerging and frontier markets are financed as growth opportunities rather than exceptions.
