“Through online platforms, new things can be learnt to improve your knowledge and understanding of Islam and the developments around the world.
“You can connect with more people globally through social media. Don’t feel deprived because of your vulnerable state and the mistreatment by the people.
“But launch yourselves through innovative ideas and creative skills.”
The guest speaker, Ustaz Husayn Sulyman Onitira, urged the widows not to restrict themselves indoors, but use the opportunities provided by technology to change the negative narratives.
The beneficiaries thanked the foundation for the gesture and training, saying the programme was a game-changer in their quest for financial breakthrough.
