Empowering Women. Strengthening Families. Uniting Communities.
OUR STORY
The North Lanarkshire Muslim Women and Family Alliance was established in 1994 to provide Muslim women and their children with the opportunity to meet, study and promote understanding within their own religion and culture – and beyond.
We also provide opportunity for social contacts, guidance, support and integration between generations and the wider community.
The Alliance has over 200 members and is a very active organisation. We provide many services such as: advocacy, befriending, cultural/art events, health and environmental programmes and learning opportunities.
Before NLMWA, I felt so isolated. Now I attend weekly sessions, have made friends, and even started volunteering. It’s changed my life.
I’ve learned new skills, improved my English, and my confidence has grown so much. The support here is amazing.
As a young person, I didn’t know where I fit in. NLMWA gave me my first leadership experience through the youth programme. Now I want to mentor others too.
