What happens when a group of Muslim women decide they're done waiting for change and start building it instead?
In this inspiring episode of The Muslim Nonprofit Show, Tayyab Yunus sits down with Sadaf Saied, co-founder of the Muslim Women Organization (MWO), to unpack the 15-year journey of how a small halaka turned into a powerful nonprofit movement.
Sadaf shares how MWO went from local service projects to launching the groundbreaking Hakima Program (Wise Women Initiative) — training women to become caregivers, advocates, and community leaders supporting others through crises.
From volunteer beginnings to professionalizing their nonprofit, MWO's story is a masterclass in vision, persistence, and purpose.
