Welcome to The Womanist Voice podcast. In this episode, Dr Sarah Hussain delves into the essential role of humanitarian work in addressing social inequalities and supporting those in need.

According to the World Health Organisation, billions of people still lack access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food. Malnutrition continues to be a leading cause of child mortality, responsible for 1 in 5 preventable deaths worldwide.

These sobering figures underline the importance of charity work in fostering a more equitable world. Dr Hussain argues that to create lasting change, society must be willing to extend support and invest in collective well-being.

Joining Dr Hussain is Ridwana Wallace-Laher, a trailblazer in the humanitarian sector who currently serves as Director of Growth at Islamic Help.

Formerly the CEO of Penny Appeal, Ridwana made history as the first Muslim woman to lead a major British charity.

With more than 20 years of experience in education and charitable leadership, she has championed organisational growth, diversification, and digital transformation throughout her career.
