Assalamualaikum everyone,,

This summer I will be returning to Bangladesh to continue my interest in international aid in my home country by joining Maa on their annual trip this year In'Sha'Allah!

Maa (Maternal Aid Association) is a life-changing charity, tackling the shocking reality of maternal mortalities in Bangladesh and other developing countries. Every year, the JourneyMaa project allows volunteers to actively make a difference to this cause by providing access to basic health services. Mothers in under-privileged communities will benefit from free health checks, treatments and medications, all of which can significantly reduce and prevent complications which they may experience. As well as this, educational workshops are delivered on important topics like newborn care and menstrual hygiene for teenage girls. The crucial work carried out by Maa is inspiring and I would love to be able to make a difference to those in need in our home country.

JourneyMaa offers UK students and young professionals the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh to:

- Provide educational workshops for mothers and local communities on safe delivery and maternal healthcare.

- Oversee the essential life-saving work at Maa's Maternal Health Clinics.

- Gain first-hand clinical experience of maternal care in urban and rural resource-poor settings.

Funds raised will support the Maa health camps run as part of JourneyMaa 2024.
