The chairperson of the planning committee, Alhaja Nurat Jolaosho, encouraged women to interact with their children in ways that support their understanding and acceptance of Islamic teachings and help them become positive ambassadors of Islam during a press conference in Lagos ahead of NASFAT’s 25th Women’s Week celebration.
Approximately 3,000 NASFAT women from different branches and groups around the world come together for the 2024 NASFAT Annual Women’s Week, which takes place from Sunday, November 10 to Sunday, November 17.
The event’s main themes are community involvement, Islamic values, and women’s empowerment.
Jolaosho emphasized NASFAT’s continuous initiatives to empower Muslim women, such as funding Fountain University, the organization’s postsecondary school, and offering financial assistance, mentorship, and leadership development to women launching their own enterprises.
She pointed out that by giving women chances and necessary skills, these programs benefit society as a whole.
She also spoke about NASFAT’s recently launched “Orphans and Out-of-School Girls Care Initiative,” which enrolls underprivileged and orphaned girls in fully financed vocational programs in an effort to support them.
Jolaosho added that the organization intends to expand NASFAT’s social assistance initiatives by creating a “Transit Home” for female victims of gender-based violence (GBV).
Interfaith cooperation will be a feature of the week-long event, giving non-Muslim sisters a chance to exchange ideas about youth involvement and humanitarian endeavors.
A visit to a Lagos center for the blind and visually handicapped, which represents the group’s dedication to inclusivity and volunteerism, is another highlight.
