Over 35 Jewish and Muslim women came together on Tuesday 19th January for the launch of Nisa-Nashim Harrow. Participants got to know each other through a group exercise before brainstorming various ways they could benefit their local and wider communities. Plans are already underway for a variety of initiatives, many of which centre on Sadaqa Day which takes place on March 20 (please see below).

The evening was organised by co-chairs Soraya Janmohamed and Doreen Samuels, who said of the event, “There was such energy in the room – such joy at meeting others with whom we felt instantly at ease. There is so much we can do together.”
