Introduction:

The Manzil Foundation is thrilled to announce an important initiative to reconfigure the Spiritual Centre at Humber River Health's Wilson Site by adding an Ablution (Wudu) area. This space will cater to the diverse needs of our community, providing a sacred area for spiritual practices and promoting inclusivity.

The Big Idea:

With your support, we aim to create a dedicated Ablution area within the Spiritual Centre. This will serve as a symbol of unity and inclusion, allowing Muslim staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, visitors, and family members to perform the essential washing ritual before prayers. Our project reflects Humber River Health's core values of Compassion, Professionalism, and Respect, ensuring that all community members can practice their faith with dignity.

Why It Matters:

Adding an Ablution area to the Spiritual Centre at Humber River Health is more than just a physical enhancement; it's a profound statement of our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. This project acknowledges and respects the spiritual practices of our Muslim community members, ensuring they have a dignified space for their religious rituals.

By supporting this initiative, you help us:

• Promote Inclusivity: Ensure our hospital community honours and respects all faith traditions.
• Enhance Well-being: Provide a serene and accessible environment for spiritual practices, which can significantly improve the mental and emotional health of patients, staff, and visitors.
• Strengthen Community Bonds: Foster a sense of belonging and unity among diverse cultural and religious groups.
• Reflect Core Values: Embody Humber River Health's values of Compassion, Professionalism, and Respect in a tangible and impactful way.

Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. It's not just about building a facility; it's about creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

Your contributions will support the creation of the Ablution area and uphold the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion at Humber River Health. We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to your involvement in this significant project.
