OUR MISSION
Our mission is to make hygienic, single-use garments available to anyone who wants them — in healthcare, food service, and beyond — because everyone deserves a clean, comfortable option that fits their needs.
ABOUT US
Mawadda was founded by Yasmin and Firaoli — respiratory therapists with years of experience in hospitals across the country, including on the front lines of the pandemic.
They experienced firsthand the frustration, worry, and loss of productivity caused by the lack of a practical, hygienic head covering option for themselves and their patients. In busy clinical settings, reusable cloth coverings created inefficiency and contamination risks. There was no single-use alternative that provided full, comfortable coverage.
So they designed one.
Mawadda's launch product, the Hygienic Hijab, is a patented, FDA-compliant, single-use head and neck covering. It features a proprietary design derived from extensive user testing.
The Hygienic Hijab was designed to support hygiene protocols in healthcare, food service, and clean environments. It provides a comfortable, dignified option for anyone who prefers full coverage — without compromising safety or convenience.
In soft-launch testing, users told us it looks good and feels great. It's a simple product, but it makes a real difference for the people who use it.
We're proud of what we've built — and we're just getting started.

Scenario- example: As Muslim women and healthcare workers we know how important the design and the fabric are to users. When working in a hospital setting with a patient there is a lot of movement involved for example when moving a patient or during CPR. So we need a design that doesn't move and fits correctly as that shouldn't be something to focus on---we can therefore focus on our work efficiently. Also, breathability is something important to many people, especially in a 6-hour surgery as you should feel comfortable at work and not worry about passing out as a result of the material not being breathable.
Market Validation section:
“This is an amazing innovation and representation that we need. I’m happy to know that Muslim women healthcare workers are behind the making of this.
The fit, color, and comfort was all designed perfectly. The material is really soft and doesn’t feel hot. I can’t wait to have this accessible to us in the hospitals.”

“I was very impressed with the product during the soft launch. This hijab actually fit my hair bun!
It gave me [better] protection than a hair net which [normally] exposes my regular day-to-day hijab.” — Nahili, RN
