Heartwork
A JOURNEY FROM
PASSION TO PURPOSE
By W.i.s.e.r (Women in Social & Economic
Reformation)
Founded in 2016, the voluntary association initially began to empower women in
the local community and evolved into a plethora of sharing, networking,
collaborating, and serving. The Wiser platform promotes the exchange of skills &
knowledge, social responsibility projects and events geared towards social and
economic growth.
Consisting of a dedicated team of volunteers, it is constantly growing to
accommodate the needs of the socio-economic issues of the country. Past
projects include skills development workshops for SME, emotional wellbeing
webinars, social awareness campaigns, several charity runs (hampers, business
rescue and bursaries), international assistance viz. crowdfunding for the purchase
of ambulance, disaster relief and aid etc. and educational tours for personal
development of children and adults.
Current projects include the construction of a borehole in an underprivileged
area, a successful crowdfund towards building of a local masjid. As a fulltime
sponsor towards the printing of African language Quraans and an opening of a
community Dawah Centre, fundraising has to be consistent and ongoing. Wiser is
solely reliant on donations, the support of the public and sponsorships of various
organizations to be able to drive causes and execute goals.
