Salma Khanam founded Aishah Help from her home in 2019. As a social worker and public health advisor she saw that many women and children are in need of safety and security. With little or no support to find a job or learn new skills, they remain trapped in a cycle of poverty. Salma wanted to change this. 

 

Aishah Help is also inspired by the great legacy of Aishah Bint Abi Bakr (ra) the Mother of the believers. The wife of prophet Muhammad (saw). Aishah (ra) spent her time in learning and acquiring knowledge. Aishah (ra) not only possessed great knowledge but took an active part in education and social reform.
