About Amanah Youth Club

Our Story, Our Sisterhood

Rooted in faith. Built on trust. Growing in community.

Our Story

Amanah Youth Club (AYC) was founded by Laiba Dossul and Mayeda Melad, two recently graduated Secondary English teachers with a shared passion for nurturing the next generation of young Muslims. Laiba is based in East London, while Mayeda is based in South East London, allowing us to serve and support communities across both areas.

Alhamdulillah, we launched AYC in the summer of 2025 with a simple but meaningful vision: to create a welcoming space where young Muslims can learn about their faith in a fun, engaging, and inspiring way.
