Volunteers

Volunteerism is a core practice in Akhuwat’s philosophy and practices. Our volunteers hail from all walks of life, bringing their diversified perspectives to Akhuwat and serving as agents of change. These are the visionaries who work tirelessly to spread the message of MawaKhat مواخات or solidarity.
