Faiz al- Mawa’id al- Burhaniya, the community kitchen in Edmonton addresses the global issue of food security by establishing a common kitchen. His Holiness Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin (t.u.s) ensures that no Dawoodi Bohra family goes without at least one nutritious meal a day. This has provided the home makers with an opportunity to pursue other interests, take up further education, devote more time to the upbringing of children or contribute to the home income. Aside from the implications for women empowerment, this initiative has fostered a greater sense of community and kinship.
