In the spirit of giving during the holy month of Ramadhan, a group of young women Muslims entrepreneurs have launched an independent programme that will benefit hundreds of orphans and single mothers in Mombasa.

The initiative launched during the break of Iftar at Wild-Waters last Saturday will see two orphanages-- Hanan Orphanage and Nuru CBR Centre, benefit from the funds raised during a Charity at an Iftar Dinner.
