We believe all women can embrace who they are, can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
Offer scholarships to women pursuing their education, help single mothers and refugees in need, and establish ourselves as a serious and trustworthy organization that focuses on helping with self-sustainability.
We are
Women
Named after one of history's most notable Muslim females, KBK (Khadijah bint Khuwaylid) Relief Foundation is a grassroots organization with an all Muslim female Board of Directors.
In addition, all our events are women only!
We are
Determined
Our organization is dedicated to serving those in need locally, nationally, and internationally. With humanitarian efforts as our number one goal, we strive to make lives better and give hope to those whose lives have been impacted by war, oppression, and poverty.
We are
Sensible
All donations, proceeds, and funds will go directly to families and individuals to alleviate suffering and minimize the economic costs of conflict, disasters, and displacement. Just as Khadijah bint Khuwaylid spent her riches on the destitute, KBK Relief will strive to honor her distinct character.
Our Board
KBK Relief Foundation was officially founded in 2018, but our trusted board members have been a part of the Michigan community for the past 20 years, offering humanitarian services to those in need.
Each member has been involved in their respective community, but we decided to make an organization that would bring all of our communities together and work towards providing aid in a more official capacity.
