Project 470: More than just a mowkeb

The Zahra Trust Mowkeb

Tens of millions of pilgrims flock to Iraq to perform the Arbaeen Ziyarah of our beloved Imam Hussain (a.s) and many of them walk from the holy city of Najaf towards Karbala. 

The Zahra Trust welcomes all zuwwar to our mowkeb at Pole 470, where we provide food, water, accommodation, medical support and more for all zuwwar of Imam Hussain. 

If you haven't been blessed with the opportunity to perform the ziyarat of Arbaeen this year (next year inshallah!), you can still be a part of serving the pilgrims of Imam Hussain (a.s). Donate and provide food, drinks and other amenities to help facilitate the walk of love towards Imam Hussain (a.s).

For those traveling to Iraq this year, we welcome you to stay at our mowkeb and if you'd like to help serve, get in touch via WhatsApp on +442084527565.

Oprhans and Widows Village

The Zahra Trust Mowkeb is also the home of our Orphans and Widows village. An integral part of this project has been to house vulnerable families in a safe and fully equipped and furnished home within a village to provide them with quality housing within a community that is safe and protected.

As of 2022, the village now homes 20 vulnerable female-headed households with orphans. The Zahra Trust constructed homes and continues to expand its construction of homes to house more families.

The residents of the village also take part in our aid projects that are run at the 470 building and one of the many benefits of the community we have created is that the women and children who all have their own unique but difficult set of circumstances are able to depend on one another for advice and support.
