AMPJF, which stands for the Malian Association for the Promotion of Youths and Women creates platforms for socio-cultural discussions bridging both generations and cultures through sport and art. Furthermore, a health programme and a rural economic development programme are offered.

Within AMPJF, football is used to create a platform for intercultural and intergenerational discussion and to create strong and self confident women with social awareness. The project is specifically targeted towards women. Through football, AMPJF tries to improve the social status of women in Malian society. The founder of the organisation, Souadou Diabaté Koné, was named an Ashoka Fellow in 2002 in recognition of her efforts in promoting the role of women in Malian society. Ashoka is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs.
