 Administration
Sisters we are in the process of making changes to our administration. These changes will be completed  soon.

Our membership has changed over the years. When we first came together, we were from different countries, which made a long-term commitment to the organization uncertain. Sisters would come and go repeatedly based on their job situations and family needs. In spite of this or maybe because of it, some of us made lasting friendships and have remained in contact across the many miles that separate us.

We are a small group of sisters who are committed to writing about Islam in a positive way. We do not hold official positions, coming together for meetings and doing whatever is necessary to keep the MWWWI wheels running. Some of us are published or in the process of being published The following is a brief summary of who we are presently. I, Zakia have written three words to describe the essence of the gifts and personalities of our current active sisters.* Many bouquets to those sisters who have contributed in the past and continue to do so in many ways to the growth and continuance of MWWWI. It is a joy to know and share our love for Islam and the literary arts with one another.

​ Peace and Blessings,
     My name is Haleemah Muhaymin, not too long ago I learned that women around the world do not have access to the necessary feminine supplies needed to function on a daily basis. Girls do not attend school at least one week of every month because they do not have the necessary sanitary supplies needed when they have their period. For the past two years I’ve sewn purses and donated them to the Sew Powerful Organization based in Washington State, which then fills them with the sanitary supplies. The filled purses are taken to Lusaka Zambia and are gifted to the girls. I am so humbled and very honored to be a part of that, but I want to do more. I began researching how to make quality reusable cloth period pads and I started sewing.
My mission (to empower girls), is to gift as many girls as I can in Africa and worldwide with a purse and ten sanitary pads inside. Having a period and proper protection should not be a hardship on any female especially for young girls who lose so much time every month during their educational years.
The materials I used for making cloth pads:
Toppers (placed against the skin)- 100% quilters cotton, flannel/brushed cotton
Core (absorbent center)- flannel, terry cloth
PUL (polyurethane laminate) waterproof fabric to prevent leakage
Backers (back of pad) flannel, fleece
Poly resin snaps (to snap around the panty crotch)
     If you want to be a part of this great cause you can donate the materials to make the pads: I will recycle gently used 100% cotton clothing such as flannel, quilter’s cotton, fleece or you can purchase any of the above mentioned fabric and/or PUL by the yard.
The fabrics I used for the purses:
Cotton, cotton blends,
Jean fabric, corduroy
Soft canvas fabric
*The girls love color and pretty designs.
Email me at-  ummyouseff@yahoo.com  - if you are interested in donating fabric or would like to sew and donate a purse.
Thanks,
Empowered Girls,
Haleemah Abdul Muhaymin
