Assalamu alaikum dear friends and family,

I am fundraising for Maa Global, a charity striving to improve the dire situation in resource-poor settings to bring about safe, effective, high quality maternal healthcare to the mothers of Bangladesh. This is a cause very close to my heart as a 3rd generation British Bangladeshi studying here as a medical student. I have an interest in global health and women’s health, and the work Maa is doing in Bangladesh is incredibly important in closing the disparity in care that mothers receive in developing countries. We are so fortunate in this country to have access to the healthcare and resources we do, and this is the perfect opportunity for us to give back to the communities that don’t have the sams.

JourneyMaa is a project that takes UK students and young professionals to Bangladesh to volunteer at Maa’s maternal health clinics. The team will work within the local community clinics and deliver educational workshops to mothers and young girls to equip them with vital health information.

If Allah wills, I hope to be joining the team this summer to volunteer at the health camps and gain a first-hand experience of maternal care in urban and rural resource-poor settings.

All money raised will go towards facilitating the Maa health camps that are run as part of JourneyMaa 2025.

The services provided at the clinics include free pre-natal health checks, medication, and education courses on maternal and newborn care to prevent life threatening complications like pre eclampsia.

Donate now to help us change the lives of countless mothers!

Jzk khair,
