OUR WORK TEAM

Islamic Relief Canada is made up of a dynamic team of individuals who bring with them experience and skill to fight poverty.

Fundraising Director

Hafsa Hasan has been involved in community work since a very young age. As a student, she worked closely with a number of organizations including the McMaster Muslim Students Association, the Islamic Society of North America, Amnesty International and the Students Commission.

Hafsa was one of the 100 students across Canada chosen to meet the Governor General of Canada and was also the recipient of the Millennium Canada National Scholarship.

Despite her busy schedule, she continues to remain involved in a number of projects and organizations.

Hafsa has experience in event management and in the fields of law and business operations. She graduated from McMaster University with a B.Sc Honours in Psychology and a B.A Honours in Religious Studies and plans to continue studies in the areas of non-profit law and business management.
