The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Belize is preparing to launch its fifth annual Women’s Expo this Saturday, March 21st, 2026, in a vibrant celebration aligning with Women’s Month observances. The event will transform the Ahmadiyya Mosque located at 1.5 George Price Highway into a hub of female entrepreneurship and wellness from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Event organizer Arrianne Pastor outlined the comprehensive offerings designed to create an empowering experience for attendees. The expo will feature numerous free services including professional nail painting, intricate hair braiding, traditional henna applications, vital health screenings, and therapeutic massage services. A dedicated children’s zone will allow parents to shop and enjoy services while their children are safely supervised.
The commercial aspect highlights local women entrepreneurs showcasing diverse products ranging from handmade soaps and artisanal purses to clothing collections and culinary offerings. Pastor emphasized the social significance of supporting these vendors, noting that many are single mothers striving to achieve financial stability or new business owners working to establish their market presence.
This initiative represents the Ahmadiyya community’s ongoing commitment to women’s economic empowerment and community building. By providing both recreational pampering services and commercial opportunities, the event creates a dual platform for relaxation and economic support. Organizers characterize the expo as a much-needed respite for women to reconnect with their identity while supporting fellow entrepreneurs in a welcoming environment.
