Out of reach for sisters?
I want this to succeed, but I worry that it’s out of reach for most Muslim women. First, there’s the cost of participation which means really it’s only accessible to well-off sisters. Second, most are just so busy looking after the home that it would be difficult to accommodate this.

You make a fair point and it’s a legitimate concern. One way around this is to approach local businesses to see if they can sponsor or subsidise the cost. This can make it much easier for sisters to participate.
As for making the time, we encourage family members to play their part freeing up time for sisters to take part. This isn’t an unreasonable request, though we do understand some families’ socio-economic circumstances make this difficult.
We very much don’t want this to be a challenge only for well-off sisters. It should be open to everyone regardless of their personal circumstances. There are some ideas in the links below, but we appreciate these won’t work for everyone.
