This Ramadan, Hope Begins With You

Provide shelter, healing, and support for women and children across Canada.

Every night in Canada, over 6,000 women and children are forced to seek refuge in shelters because home is no longer safe. 1

This Ramadan, you can change that reality.

By donating to Nisa Foundation, you give women and children safe shelter, healing, and hope, helping them rebuild their lives.

Leaving Was the Most Dangerous Step She Took

“My husband had always been aggressive, but the day he threatened my life, I knew I had to leave.” 

Samah hid in the washroom, shaking, afraid of what might happen next. She knew she had to leave but she also knew that trying to escape could cost her life.

The most dangerous time for a victim of domestic violence is when she attempts to leave her abuser because violence often escalates when control is threatened. Many women are seriously harmed or killed during this moment of separation. 2

For days, Samah lived quietly, protecting her daughter, waiting for a safe moment. That’s when she called Nisa Foundation. A caseworker helped her create a safety plan and helped her and her daughter find safety, while offering support along the way.

This Ramadan, women like Samah are still waiting for a safe moment to leave.

Your Zakat and Sadaqah can provide safety, shelter, and healing when her life depends on it
