Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 3! I'm your host Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and toddler Mum, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

Today I’m joined by Abbie Kadom, founder of Hope-Amel, a Dubai-based non-profit organisation supporting Mothers and families who are struggling and in need of support. This year marks 5 years since Hope-Amel was founded, and in this special episode, we reflect on its beginnings, impact, and what lies ahead.

Abbie shares the deeply personal and tragic story that led her to start Hope-Amel, and how she channelled her own struggles into a mission to support others.

We discuss:

• The emotional backstory behind Hope-Amel's founding
• A story of hope for single Mothers
• What it's like to support others while still healing yourself
• The realities of running a grassroots organisation in the UAE
• Hope-Amel’s mission and milestones over the past five years
• Abbie’s message for anyone looking to find purpose
• How to help others in need in the UAE
• What to do with old householder baby items in UAE

This is an incredibly moving and inspiring conversation that shines a light on the strength found in vulnerability, and the hope that can grow from even the darkest of places.
