The late President of the Fiji Muslim League, Haji Hafizud Dean Khan always ensured the small Muslim community in Fiji was intact and vigorously promoted unity amongst them.
While giving his eulogy at Khan’s funeral gathering at Nadi Muslim School this afternoon, the Senior Vice President of the Fiji Muslim League Nisar Ali says Khan also ensured girls and women were never left behind.
Ali says Khan started the Makoi Women’s Vocational Training Centre which caters for the training needs of disadvantaged girls and women.
