Today IWCNZ Spoke to four (4) sisters who attended our 2022 Summer Escape earlier this year. Alhamdulilah - All the sisters who attended got a chance to tick off something from their bucket list. IWCNZ know that investing in our community and the women in it has a huge positive impact on Muslimahas, their families and the wider Muslim communities in Aorteroa.
Here is what they had to say about how they benefited from IWCNZ:
“In January 2022 I attended one of my first camps with IWCNZ. One of the many breathtaking activities we did was the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, along with 20 other awesome women from across New Zealand. Accomplishing the hike was one thing; but the memories and the new life long friends we made at the camp may of just been the best part it all!” Saarah Yahiha
“I went on the Summer Camp and it was amazing alhamdulillah. Especially as a new Muslim, it was such a wonderful experience meeting a diverse range of Muslim women. Bonding with the women was my favourite part, whether conquering the height of Tongariro Crossing, the rapids of Wanganui river, or over a hearty dinner after an adventurous day. If it were not for it being funded by IWCNZ, I probably wouldn’t have been able to meet so many beautiful people and am so grateful for the opportunity” Bianca Kerr
“IWCNZ has helped me connect with other young Muslimah through a range of activities within the Waikato community. Along with this, they helped me push myself and achieve more. During the summer I had the chance to do the Tongariro Crossing which was extremely different for me but I challenged myself to do the 20km hike and I felt accomplished and confident after finishing. IWCNZ has helped me push my own boundaries and step out of my comfort zone to unlock new potential” Aasiyah Atheer
“I was very excited to hear that IWCNZ was organizing the summer escape for women and girls. As I like to go hiking in NZ, I was so interested in doing the Tongariro crossing especially with a group of Muslim women and girls.As I was the only women from the south island who have attended this camp, I had a great opportunity to meet with new people and opportunity to discover and explore new places too. I like how IWCNZ organised this escape and gave the opportunity to Muslim women of all ages to choose activities and experiences that fit their age and abilities such as the crossing, horse riding, canoeing, gondola or hot pools.I am looking forward to hear more from IWCNZ and be able to participate in more other activities and escapes”. - Badia Sabil
Our community has grown so has IWCNZ, and while we have the skills, talents, and desire to do more, we simply lack the resources. Our goal is to obtain sustainable funding so we can continue our work -- Standing strong and steadfast as Muslim Women in New Zealand - We ask that you join us in our journey forward.
