The Khawateen Committee of The Council of European Jamaats is once again proud to launch its popular Annual Young Girls Camp which will be hosted by  KSIMC of Birmingham.

The camp will Insha’Allah take place from 1 June 2010 – 4 June 2010 and is aimed at girls aged between 8 – 10 years old.

The camp aims to give the girls a fulfilling experience, where they will not only have fun and meet other girls from our community, but also learn valuable Islamic concepts helping them develop into a more informed, confident Muslima.

Kindly please make regular announcements during your Jamaat programmes and place the attached poster on your Jamaat website. We request that you display the posters (hard copies mailed to you) on your Jamaat notice boards in both Ladies and Gents Section.

As part of its ongoing efforts to understand and meet the various needs of our communities across the world, The World Federation of KSIMC has launched a ‘Women’s Needs Assessment’.

The purpose of this new initiative is to carry out a worldwide evaluation on the diverse needs of women in our communities and centres across the world so that The World Federation of KSIMC and its Regional Federations can support our women with programmes and services which are fitting, essential and in harmony with their present day needs. 

Saeeda Jiwa, an Executive Councillor of The World Federation of KSIMC for the term 2009-2012 has been appointed by the Office Bearers as the ‘Women’s Needs Assessment Coordinator’ and will be leading this initiative.  She will be working with a number of individuals representing the different Regional Federations to develop an infrastructure for assessment and eventually implement the studies as well as programmes for women. 

Areas that will be assessed include spiritual, educational, and medical needs among others. 

Saeeda Jiwa said, ‘I am excited and optimistic about this project. It is my hope that with the support from all the regions, jointly we will be able to achieve this aim.  This assessment process is aimed to unlock the potential of service providers in reaching out to individual region's identified needs within this particular demographic and tailor the services to meet the needs of our women worldwide. We pray to Allah (SWT) to guide us to serve in his way. Ameen.’
