Below are the programs that took place during the holy month and a lot of potential was shown during these events.

Ramadhan Souq
The Ramadhan souq took place next to Ebrahim haji where we facilitated the registered members with booths in showcasing their products for sell. We had different products on sell at the souq, from food items, clothing to accessories. The feedback was positive but we still would like community members to come and support such events so that we can uplift our own members for better opportunities.
Testimonials:
¨We really appreciate for all your support and Assistance provided during the Holy Month of Ramadhan at the Ramadhan Souk. We are very thankful for the given opportunity, and Alhamdullilah it ended well. We thank you and the entire team of EEC for the continued tireless efforts. May Allah SWT accept your duas and Aamal. Ilahi Ameen.¨
¨Just wanted to thank you for the opportunity that was given to me for keeping a stall near the mosque during the Ramadhan nights. Alhamdullilah all went well and business did pick up, all thanks to EEC team.
Jazakallah Khair for the opportunity may Allah bless you.

Ramadhan ADS
The Ramadhan Ad’s took place at the KSIJ mosque screens that are both at display on gents and ladies’ side where members were able to advertise their businesses on a fee for a whole month. This gave the prominent business owners public exposure for business.
B2B (Business 2 Baraqah)
Business 2 Baraqah was a sehri event held at the skewers restaurant successfully held on 7th April 2023 we had approximately 50 participants that attended the workshop. The event had a short talk by Shk. Zeeshan Somji after which a discussion took place on reflection and how to bring Baraqah to each other’s businesses. This brought about good interaction within the participants where it was discussed on the problems faced and solutions and few good advises were shares amongst the crowd.
Testimonial:
¨I was thoroughly impressed by the level of expertise and engagement of the speakers, as well as the diverse range of attendees. The event offered a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, share best practices, and explore new business opportunities. Overall, it was a thought-provoking and inspiring experience that left me feeling energized and motivated.¨
¨The program was great Alhamdulillah really learnt about the challenges of other businesses. However, we should have another program with potential solution.¨
All in all the programs led by EEC during the holy month of Ramadhan made a positive impact to the community at large with unique experience with each event, moreover the participants requested for more of such events in the future.
