Journey to Mecca: Emory's First Umrah
Journey to Mecca: Emory's First Umrah
Help Send Emory Students on Their First Umrah to Mecca and Medina!
Join us in supporting Emory University students on a transformative journey to Mecca and Medina. This meaningful trip, led by Emory University Muslim Life, will provide education and devotional reflection for students making their first pilgrimage. Your support is especially crucial for students who lack the financial means to otherwise participate.
Our Goal: $15,000
The cost of the Umrah is approximately $3,000 per student. Your generous contribution will help cover these expenses and ensure that more students can experience this spiritual journey. We hope this initiative marks the beginning of an annual program, with funds rolling over to support future trips.
Please, help us by sharing this project!
About the Emory Muslim Chaplaincy
The Emory Muslim Chaplaincy, led by Ustadh Dr. Rahimjon Abdugafurov 20G, works closely with alumni, faculty, staff, and students to support the Emory Muslim community. The chaplaincy organizes high-quality spiritual life programs, including weekly gatherings, holiday observances, retreats, service and social justice projects, and fellowship events.
Your donation will not only support this year's Umrah trip but also contribute to the ongoing efforts of the Muslim Chaplaincy to foster a vibrant and inclusive community at Emory.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of Emory students.
