The Seeds of Sakinah mentorship program has truly been life-changing for me. Before joining, I struggled with self-doubt and felt unsure about my path. My mentor not only listened to and guided me but also helped me see my potential.
During a very difficult time for my family, the food support we received from Sakinah Foundation meant everything. We were struggling to put meals on the table, and their help gave us not just food, but a sense of dignity and hope. Knowing that someone cared made us feel less alone.
Before joining Sakinah Foundation’s Education Access Initiative, I didn’t know if I’d be able to continue school. They provided the support I needed—books, tuition help, and most importantly, encouragement. Now, I’m not only back in class but dreaming bigger than ever.
