The African proverb says that if you educate a man, you educate an individual. But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation.

This saying speaks exactly to Shaykha Rukayya Samsodien, the founder and director of Baseerah Institute mission that started in 2016.

This institution is not only just for women to gain knowledge but it is a institution that brings about a sisterhood with each and every woman that walks in. This is a double package.
