Mercy Mission Canada has launched a new project aimed at encouraging more Muslim Canadians to become foster parents.

The project is called FosterLink.

Muslim Link interviewed the project’s founder Shahzad Mustafa about the initiative.

Being ME (Muslimah Empowered) Conference will be taking place on Saturday, May 5th at the Telus Convention Centre. There has also been a bus organized to bring women from Edmonton to the conference.

Being ME Toronto is an annual conference for Muslim women. This year the conference takes place on Saturday, March 31st. Being ME Toronto is trying to gather Muslim women from across Southern Ontario by organizing buses to the conference in several cities. 

Muslim Link interviewed the team behind Being ME Toronto about this year's conference. 

Help may soon be just a phone call away for Muslim women in distress.

1-888-315-NISA, the first toll-free anonymous phone counseling service for Canadian Muslimahs, is being launched this month by Mercy Mission, a non-profit Islamic organization.

The helpline, a project of Mercy Mission's Women's Resource Centre, is designed to answer questions and provide references and advice to Muslim women across the country seeking support, guidance or even a listening ear.
