Since December of 2023, Nisa Foundation has supported and helped resettle 1,317 Palestinian evacuees from Gaza in Canada.

Gaza evacuees have been arriving here, in our neighbourhoods, right here at home in Canada — with just the clothes on their back… and hope.
‍
After escaping the most unimaginable hardships, and making it to Canada with incredible difficulty, our brothers and sisters — and their children — are faced with little to no support upon arrival. They are left to navigate a new system, search for shelter, food, and employment, all while having no means to start over.

Many are having to choose between a roof over their head — or putting food on the table.

Seeing the dire need, Nisa Foundation stepped in to support Gaza evacuees, Alhamdulillah.

Nisa Foundation also assigns a dedicated caseworker to each family to help them navigate their individual situation, including but not limited to finding housing, employment, support with immigration needs, registering in school and English classes.

Supporting Evacuees On Their Journey Home

In December 2023, the Canadian government announced the family reunification program aimed at bringing family members of Canadians who are currently in Gaza to safety here in Canada. Unfortunately, to date, the program has failed to bring anyone out of Gaza, those who have been able to escape, have had to pay out of pocket.

Families have shouldered the immense financial burden alone—covering evacuation costs, airfare, accommodations, and basic necessities—often resorting to crowdfunding, depleting savings, and taking on debt just to save their loved ones.

With the support of our community, Nisa Foundation is working to fill this gap and provide support to these families who are simply looking for safety, peace, and freedom.

The Prophet ﷺ said,

“The believers in their mutual mercy, love and compassion are like a single body, when one limb is in pain the rest of the body joins in insomnia, fever and restlessness.”

Let your generosity, sadaqah, and zakat be the answer to their prayers.

Help the most beloved of our Ummah, that is now facing further hardships, right here at home in Canada.

We currently have over 40 families seeking support — and another 20 families on our waitlist — many are single moms.

Your giving is more than charity. It’s a shield — a lifeline for those that have suffered and survived the most horrific genocide broadcasted live.

A Simple Request

The families have asked us to keep their return as private as possible. It's been tough for them, and they just want to come home quietly. So, let's respect their wish for privacy.

Families received assistance with housing placement, access to healthcare and education, employment connections, and essential needs such as food, clothing, and furniture.

While the coalition has since concluded its formal initiative, Nisa Foundation continues to provide ongoing case management and resettlement support for evacuees arriving through community sponsorships or family reunification programs. Our goal remains the same: to ensure every family that has fled unimaginable hardship is met with compassion, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives in safety.
