In 2018, Majida’s life took a dramatic turn when her husband unexpectedly passed away. In addition to the devastating grief she was feeling, she was emotionally overwhelmed about her new responsibilities in the family – raising her three children and supporting her mother-in-law by herself. Dejected and unsure on how to move forward, she reached out to SINDA in the hopes of receiving assistance.

SINDA swiftly stepped in to help, providing her with counselling services that allowed her to process her grief and manage her emotions better. Since then, she and her family have received further financial aid under the SINDA Bursary, Resilience Package and SINDA Care Package to ensure that they could afford groceries and daily necessities, amidst these challenging times.

While SINDA’s financial assistance has played a big role in Majida’s journey, she is also grateful for her learnings from attending the Women Empowerment Programme. Sharing her struggles with other women who are fighting their own battles has inspired her to continue persevering and she is determined to overcome any adversities that life throws at her. Today, Majida is the embodiment of resilience, and despite how much she has overcome, she is motivated to continue uplifting her family’s life.
