Menstruation plays a very important role in a woman’s life. This phase begins around the age of 11 and ends with menopause.

Menstruation, also known as periods, is considered a natural process designed by God The Creator. Every month a woman goes through this phase of her life and the days of her period vary from woman to woman. That said, with the current spike in the prices of food and other basic necessities, at Maison Dawah we have realized that it will be very, very difficult for women, whose families are in distress, to maintain good hygiene in this pertaining to menstruation.

So, we decided to embark on a new project known as โ€œDistribution of Sanitary Padsโ€ where 324 pads (total value Rs 9,330) were purchased to be distributed to our beneficiaries among whom are adults and teenage girls. . Their preferences (in terms of choice of sanitary napkins) were taken into consideration and the distribution started well on Wednesday, July 20, 2022. It is good to know that we have provided the sanitary napkins for periods of time varying between 3 months and 8 months.

A reminder for the Muslim woman: she must maintain good hygiene. During the period of menstruation she should not perform the ritual prayer (swalaat) and also she should not make up for missed prayers.

Pandรฉmie oblige la scolaritรฉ se fait aussi, depuis quelques temps, en ligne. Sauf quโ€™avoir une connexion internet ร  la maison nโ€™est pas ร  la portรฉe de tous. Afin que des enfants ne soient pas pรฉnalisรฉs, Maison Dawah a dรฉcidรฉ de venir en aide ร  plusieurs familles.

II sโ€™agit lโ€™un des projets phares de Maison Dawah pour cette annรฉe. Lโ€™objectif est de pouvoir connecter au โ€˜moins une douzaine de familles au rรฉseau internet. Ce, afin que les enfants issus de ces familles ne manquent pas leurs cours qui se dรฉroulent exclusivement en ligne pour certains Grades. ยซ Nous sommes conscients quโ€™un bon nombre de familles nโ€™ont pas de connexion internet ร  la maison et que, par consรฉquent, leurs enfants ne peuvent pas suivre les cours, etc. Cโ€™est une grande perte pour ces enfants, et cela perpรฉtue le cercle vicieux de la pauvretรฉ dans les familles ยป fait ressortir Nusayhah Aumeer, Administrative Assistant ร  Maison Dawah

Pour cela, lโ€™ONG compte se pencher sur le cas de plusieurs familles vulnรฉrables, ยซ Nous allons examiner les dossiers de plusieurs potentiels bรฉnรฉficiaires et de lร , nous sรฉlectionnerons ceux qui, nous estimons, mรฉritent le plus cette aide. Nous espรฉrons pouvoir faciliter ces enfants qui รฉprouvent des difficultรฉs dans leur scolaritรฉ ยป, fait ressortir note interlocutrice.

Autre projet important: la distribution de colis alimentaires ร  des familles de Mahรฉbourg, impactรฉes par le naufrage du MV Wakashio ร  Pointe-D’Esny en 2020, En collaboration avec un travailleur Social de la rรฉgion, Maison Dawah espรจre ainsi venir en aide, lร  encore, ร  une douzaine de familles.

Et enfin, lโ€™association compte poursuivre avec la formation sur la dawah. Une formation qui se fait dรฉsormais en ligne depuis lโ€™avรจnement des protocoles sanitaires. ยซ Cette formation est essentielle pour ceux โ€˜qui sโ€™intรฉressent ร  la dawah. Comme Nous avons un nombre important de religions et de cultures ร  Maurice, il est essentiel quโ€™un daโ€™ee sโ€™y familiarise afin de pouvoir procรฉder efficacement au travail de la dawah ยป, souligne Nusayhah Aumeer.

Maison Dawah, a humanitarian non-government organisation (NGO) with many years of experience, collects food items to assist families in need. Its goal this year is to help 1,000 households with food assistance.

Maison Dawah, situated on rue Labourdonnais, participates in a nationwide activity at the conclusion of each year. We collect non-perishable food items to distribute to poor families. Hossen Kurrimboccus, the organization’s president, explains:  “Maison Dawah was founded in 2014, and we have been collecting food items since then. We know that all workers will get an end-of-year bonus in December. We plan to use this occasion to arrange a ten-day food collection (non-perishable) activity in favour of families in distress.”

โ€œThe collection officially started on Thursday, December 20, and will continue until Sunday, December 30. The gathered food items will subsequently be distributed to Mauritians and needy families inย Rodrigues. We’ve set a target of preparing food worth Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 for 1,000 households,’ said Hossen Kurrimboccus and Maison Dawah is therefore relying on the generosity of our fellow citizens to contribute. “This food distribution will help reduce hunger among the poor,โ€

Although the primary mission of Maison Dawah is to educate people interested in learning more about Islam, Hossen Kurrimboccus adds that its members also engage in social activities. โ€œWe help families and other individuals who are in need. We have trained about 200 individuals to do this job,โ€ Hossen Kurrimboccus explains. He continues, “There is no religion for philanthropy.” There are no boundaries between us.

Maison Dawah needs you to assist the needy.

Help us help those in need.

While many of us will be enjoying the end of the year, many families may not be so fortunate. Therefore, Maison Dawah encourages Mauritians to be generous.

To ensure that all families have the greatest possible holiday season, Maison Dawah, a socio-religious organization, is conducting a massive solidarity effort called “Dan Ou Bonus, Pas Bliรฉ Bann Pauvres”.

As Mauritians will get their end-of-year bonus each year. We ask them to provide us with non-perishable goods that we will distribute across the island in areas that are afflicted by poverty,” says Hossen Kurrimboccus, the association’s president.

Collections of non-perishable goods will take place as from December 20 to 30 at the following location:-

1. Rabita Hall in Port Louis as from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

2. Hunain Islamic Center in Coromandel from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

3. Istanbul Snack in Rose-Hill as from 9 a.m. until 5 a.m.

4. Nalla Store in Rose-Hill as from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Note that collection of provision will also take place in Phoenix as from 22-24 December from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The organization hopes to distribute 400 packs of supplies worth between Rs 600 and Rs 700 this year.

โ€œDan ou bonus pa Bliรฉ Bann Pauvres!โ€ is the campaign made by Maison Dawah in conjunction with its annual collection of food items, which will take place from December 21 to 27. The Hunain Islamic Center in Coromandel and the Islamic Dawah Academy in Phoenix are also on board to assist 300 households.

Maison Dawah solicits Mauritians to make a donation, no matter how small, to help families in need in December. Maison Dawah appeals to them to โ€œkeep aside a fraction of their end-of-year bonus for the poor”. However, the contribution must not be in cash. Thus, we encourage our compatriots to donate “non-perishable food products,” which will be distributed throughout the island.  

In areas such as in Port Louis (Ward IV, Tranquebar, Vallรฉe-Pitot, Camp Yoloff, Vallรฉe-des-Prรชtres, Cassis, and, Citรฉ La Cure). Roche-Noires, Terre-Rouge, Grand-Baie, Cap Malheureux, Grand-Gaube, Poudre d’Or, Pailles, Les Guibies.

Maison Dawah had already prepared a list of individuals and families who are in need. Last year, with the assistance our compatriots, Maison Dawah was able to provide food packs to 250 families.

โ€œWe implore your generosity in order to contribute to this humanitarian initiative, and provide relief and a smile to these distressed families. May God bless and protect us all as we participate in this activity that fosters fraternity among us.

 From December 21 to 27, three collection points were open:

  • 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rabita Hall, 28 rue Pope Henessy, Port-Louis (tel: 213-6377);
