Our Story

A women-led organisation born from compassion, service, and the desire to help elderly women prepare for Hajj with dignity and support.

Founding story of Rih La Tul Umr
6 women with one shared calling

Born from a shared calling to make Hajj possible.

Rih La Tul Umr was born from a shared calling among six women who witnessed the emotional pain experienced by elderly women who dreamt of performing Hajj but could not afford to go.

The organisation was established to create a platform of support — not only by assisting with costs, but also by providing education, preparation, resources, and guidance.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the organisation’s early efforts, Rih La Tul Umr successfully sent its first group of pilgrims in 2022 and has continued to grow its impact every year since.

At its heart, the organisation exists to transform sincere intention into supported, dignified preparation for Hajj.

Our Story

How It All Began

In 2019, after witnessing the barriers women faced in completing their pilgrimage, Rihlatul Umr was officially registered as a non-profit organization. From its inception, the initiative has operated entirely through volunteers guided by compassion, faith, and a shared commitment to helping women realize their dreams of Hajj. The founding team recognized that while spiritual readiness is vital, financial and logistical challenges often prevent deserving women from embarking on this sacred journey — and they set out to change that.

This Is Us

Our Mission and Values

At the heart of Rihlatul Umr lies a mission to empower women and make Hajj accessible:

Accessibility

We aim to remove financial and logistical barriers that might prevent a woman from performing Hajj.

Sisterhood & Solidarity

We foster a supportive community where women uplift, encourage, and guide one another through the pilgrimage process.

Empowerment & Support

Beyond financial assistance, we provide guidance, mentorship, and spiritual preparation to ensure each pilgrim feels fully ready for the journey.

Through these core values, Rihlatul Umr strives to make the pilgrimage not only achievable but a deeply enriching experience.

Our Impact

Transforming Lives Through Pilgrimage

Over the years, thanks to the generosity of donors and the dedication of volunteers, Rihlatul Umr has helped dozens of women embark on their spiritual journeys. Each year, more sisters are empowered to experience the sacred pilgrimage, transforming their lives and the lives of their families. The initiative’s efforts are a testament to what a committed community can achieve when driven by faith, compassion, and the desire to make a meaningful difference.
