Some Words About Our Organisation

The Hospital Welfare and Muslim Educational Movement (HWMEM) was established in August 1942 when a group of individuals came together to ensure that the dietary needs of Muslim sailors admitted to Somerset Hospital were satisfied. Since then, the HWMEM has travelled a long and Apartheid obstacle laden road to prominence and success by serving people irrespective of race, creed or gender with fortitude and consistency.
