Five South African nationals selected by the Mouawad Diamond Impact Fund (MDIF) in collaboration with the South African State Diamond Trader recently completed their training at Mouawad’s Bangkok diamond manufacturing facility. This marks the successful conclusion of the first initiative by MDIF since it was launched in 2019 by 4th and 5th generation Mouawad family members as a new, permanent non-profit, philanthropic initiative. The Mouawad Diamond Impact Fund focuses its activities on the communities, regions and countries from which Mouawad sources its diamonds. Through supporting under privileged community members in these territories, it adds value to the journey of diamonds from rough to jewelry.
