A husband and his children are climbing Mount Snowdon in memory of their beloved wife and mother.
Nighat Sultana Ejaz, from Neasden in north west London died suddenly on June 26 following a brain haemorrhage. She was described as a woman of “warmth, patience, and gentle nature."
Nighat was a nursery and reception teacher at Mitchell Brook Primary School.
Her family is now preparing to climb Mount Snowdon in her honour to raise funds for a Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) project in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan—a cause supporting children’s education and wellbeing.

Nighat’s son, Tekhmeed Ejaz, shared a picture of his mother's personal diary, which named the charity she wanted her family to support in her name if "anything was to happen to me".
He said it "reflects her character as someone who was deeply dedicated to charity and prayer".
The planned project aims to benefit children through long-term support and educational opportunities.
Mr Ejaz said: “The GoFundMe page will allow us to continue her legacy, and we will donate the funds to a school in Azad Kashmir in Pakistan—something Mum always wanted to do but never got the chance.”
He described his mother as a “loving mother, a devoted wife, a cherished daughter, a caring sister, an aunt, and a loyal friend".
He added: “She was the foundation of our home.
“Losing her so suddenly has been a heartbreak that our family is still trying to come to terms with.”
Nighat worked in a primary school for 18 years, focusing on nursery and reception children.
Her family said teaching was never just a job for her, but a calling.
She believed that every child deserved love, encouragement, and the chance to succeed, regardless of their background.
They said: “We cannot think of a more fitting tribute to Nighat than ensuring that children continue to receive the care, opportunities, and hope that she spent her life giving to others.”
Any funds raised will support educational, wellbeing, and personal development initiatives for young children in Azad Kashmir.
The family said: “We kindly ask that you share this page and remember Nighat Sultana Ejaz in your prayers.”
They described her as someone who “spent her life spreading beneficial knowledge through her work as a teacher".
Through the project, they hope her kindness and dedication to children will continue to make a difference for years to come.
The family thanked supporters for their kindness, generosity, and prayers during what they described as the most difficult time of their lives.
They said: “We pray that this project becomes a lasting legacy of hope, compassion, and opportunity for children, just as she dedicated her own life to giving them.”
