Mom Minding the Mosque

During her 28 years in Brazil, Bu Ipah has never stopped working. Initially arriving as a housewife with her migrant worker husband, she has spent the last 21 years as a mosque caretaker. During Ramadan, she is especially busy with food orders and iftar events. Despite her many duties, she cares for her youngest child, Totó, while balancing her roles as a mother, liaison to the ummah, and committee member for mosque social programs.
