Hope UAE Founder, Abbie Kadom

PETA AL AKAWI
About this episode

Welcome to a brand-new series of Friday’s Child – The podcast on a mission to educate, empower and support you on your parenting journey.

I’m your host, Peta, a British expat who’s been living in Dubai for 10 years and first time Mama to my gorgeous little girl Mavia.

I have some incredible guests for you this season including Heidi Murkoff the author of the iconic, best-selling book ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’, YouTube star Nurse Zabe, along with amazing childbirth educators, parenting coaches and real Mums keeping it very real!

My guest today is a woman who is changing the lives of Mother’s and families in need across the UAE on a daily basis.

Abbie Kadom is the Founder of Hope UAE, a social platform for women in the UAE to come together to support other women and children in desperate need. The group’s mission is to provide support and relief to women and mothers that are facing hard times and difficulties. The Hope community provide pre-loved and spare mum & baby everyday essentials from clothes, nappies, sanitary products and everything in between.

The work Abbie and her team do to support women and families who have literally nothing and nowhere else to turn to is simply incredible and I was so honored to speak to Abbie and hear all about the Hope UAE journey so far.
