General Secretary’s Message

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Well-Wishers,

It fills me with immense pride and gratitude to share the remarkable journey and current progress of Being A Woman with you. After the challenging times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to resume our educational institution’s operations on February 14, 2022. Since then, it has been truly heartening to witness an increasing number of students re-enrolling each day—a positive momentum that gives us great hope for the future.

However, with growth comes greater responsibility. Our obligations have expanded far beyond our initial expectations, creating new challenges—especially in securing adequate funding to maintain the excellent faculty members and facilities that our students deserve. Yet, despite such challenges, our optimism remains unwavering, driven by the generosity and encouragement we receive from our supporters and well-wishers.

Today, Maulana Azad School educates over 150 children, including specially-abled and socially excluded children, supported by a dedicated team of skilled educators and therapists. We continue to dream of establishing a permanent, purpose-built facility where every child can thrive and achieve their full potential in a nurturing environment of dignity and care.

I also feel deeply committed to women’s empowerment initiatives beyond education, creating inclusive community programs where economically disadvantaged women acquire skills, confidence, and opportunities for growth.

While the road has its hurdles, our dedication is steadfast. With every small step forward, we are building a stronger, more inclusive tomorrow—one where no woman or child is left behind. Let us continue hand in hand on this transformative journey.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Farina Samad
General Secretary
