Janeth is the President and founder of the Queensland Welfare Association of Queensland Inc, a non-profit organisation based in Woodridge.
Through the association, Janeth runs a welfare op-shop, collecting clothes and other goods from the Muslim community and selling or donating them to members of the local community of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.
Over the past four years, Janeth has helped countless families and individuals with clothes, crockery and furniture. She has also assisted many refugees with food, clothes and toys.
Janeth is the secretary of the Muslim Charitable Foundation, which raised thousands of dollars during the recent floods. She worked tirelessly throughout this period delivering food and offering solace at local recovery centres.
She is also the President of the Queensland Muslim Historical Society, and voluntarily tutors Chinese and Taiwanese students in English. On top of all this, Janeth baby-sits her daughter's triplets every week and tends to her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's.
Janeth has worked hard to foster multi-faith initiatives to promote understanding and peace between non-Muslims and Muslims. She is an exceptional and inspiring role model for the whole community.
