Change Makers: Canadian Muslim Women Who Inspire Awards and Scholarship Brunch

Featuring Nil Köksal, Host of CBC's World Report

CCMW's Women Who Inspire awards brunch raises money to provide scholarships for Canadian Muslim women to pursue their education through the Lila Fahlman Scholarship fund. It is a wonderful tradition that adds support to the dozens of Muslim women who deserve to be supported with their education.

The 2018/2019 Lila Fahlman scholarship recipients are:

  • Saima S. Hussain
  • Kaffie Abdirashid
  • Alia Youssef

In addition to the scholarships, CCMW honours Canadian Muslim women from diverse backgrounds that have achieved excellence in sports, business, education, arts, community service, and leadership. Challenging the conventional stereotypes, these women proudly serve their communities and are a source of inspiration for all Canadians.

The 2019 Women Who Inspire award recipients are:

  • Hifza Buhari
  • Afua Cooper
  • Fahmida Kamali
  • Selda Kateroglu Sezen
  • Seher Shafiq
