When Fatima was abandoned during her pregnancy, she had no one. Like Hajar running between Safa and Marwah, she searched desperately for safety.
 
She walked into Nisa Homes broken — and walked out with hope.

But she’s not the only one

When Samira found herself pregnant and alone after fleeing an abusive marriage, she feared the judgment more than the hardship. Like Maryam (as), she carried the weight of motherhood — and isolation — with no one to lean on.  

She came to Nisa Homes ashamed, afraid, and exhausted. What she found instead was compassion, safety, and a fresh start.

She is not alone.

Women in one-parent families led by single mothers experience food insecurity at twice the national average — nearly 1 in 2.

Your support gives women like Samira not just shelter, but dignity.

"People judged me, but Nisa gave me grace. They reminded me that Allah never abandons the patient.” – Samira

She Endured Oppression with Faith.
So Did Asiya.

Amina escaped years of psychological and spiritual abuse. Her husband had stripped her of confidence and isolated her from community. Like Asiya (as), she stood firm in her belief, even as everything around her tried to break her.

She arrived at Nisa Homes with nothing but her daughter and her faith. Slowly, she began to rebuild.

90% of families in emergency shelters are led by single mothers.

Your generosity gives women like Amina the power to say, “Enough,” and the strength to start over.

“I had nothing but my du’as. Now I have a future. Nisa helped me rise again.” – Amina
