Yusra
Yusra is a local Humanitarian Project by NTUMS. It’s name, Yusra, means “ease” in Arabic. As such, the adhoc aims to provide relief to the elderly and underprivileged Muslim society in Singapore, as well as other groups in the society who are in need. Yusra regularly holds events every term, ranging from food and hamper distributions, camps for kids from underprivileged communities to the well known Raya Revamp, which has been Yusra’s main event since 2015.
In 2022, Yusra carried out 2 events, the first being a food hamper distribution for a lower income neighbourhood, and the second being a painting and refurbishment effort in a number of rental flats.
With these efforts and being able to see what the situation is like for those who are facing difficulties in the communities, is one way to remind us to always count our blessings and to give back to society. We hope to develop values of empathy, sincerity, service to others as well as open-mindedness in the NTUMS community.
