The History of MWI
In 2019 Therapist and Community Organizer sister Zainab Abdul-Rahim launched the award winning Muslim Wholehearted Initiative Inc (MWI). A registered 501(c)3 non-profit, providing affordable Islamic-Focused Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation Services. In addition to counseling, the MWI Team facilitates virtual and in-person Community Events, Workshops and Seminars. All centered around a singular purpose—living Authentic lives through an Islamic lens. With deep roots in the NY Tristate Muslim community, our team has created over 11 original workshops tackling challenging and nuanced issues around mental health, healing, and wellness, and has provided counseling services to 200+ clients. For the past five seasons MWI has hosted our ground breaking podcast Sunday Morning Coffee with Friends, addressing the needs of our people, with a side of humor, and lots of coffee.
As we expand, our goal is to purchase a brick and mortar to continue providing these vital services to our community.
