It costs lives

These aren’t just numbers — they’re mothers, daughters, and sisters.
Your donation is a lifeline for women and children escaping the shadows to find a safe new beginning.

From Hidden Abuse to Safe Haven - Layla's Story
"After 12 years of abuse, I reached the moment I could no longer hide the pain. With the quiet help of a friend and my masjid, I found my way to Nisa Foundation. I arrived with nothing but my infant twins — terrified, exhausted, and completely broken.
For the first time in years, I finally felt safe. Nisa Foundation held me up when I couldn’t stand on my own, helping me rediscover my confidence, my happiness, and the strength to rebuild my life." — Layla
Layla’s story is one of many. Countless women are living in fear and isolation, trying again and again to leave — it takes an average of seven attempts to escape an abusive relationship for good.
Your donation could be the one that helps her succeed.
You can open the door to safety, healing, and a new beginning.
Help her build a life free from abuse.
She shouldn’t have to try seven times to find safety. This 16 Days, let’s make change happen.
