Celebrating Connection Empowerment and Giving Back
On Saturday, 8th August 2026, The Al Ansaar Outreach hosted a truly one-of-a-kind Women’s Day celebration, bringing women together for a day filled with connection, celebration, empowerment and community spirit.
The event took place from 09:00am to 02:30pm, and was a wonderful reflection of what can be achieved when a community comes together for a meaningful cause.
At the heart of the event was an important purpose: raising funds for the Slice of Life project, an initiative dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those in need. Every contribution and every person who played a role in the event helped bring us one step closer to making a greater impact through this important initiative.

While the event was a celebration of women, it was ultimately about something even greater: community, generosity and giving back.
