Ikram Foundation supports divorced and widowed Muslim women, a majority of whom are survivors of domestic violence to get an education through grants so that they can be employed to earn a living wage.
Breaking the Cycle Of Poverty
We have seen female headed households in our community remain in the cycle of poverty for far too long. We believe in the power of education, mentorship, and opportunities for women who have gone through an immense amount of trauma to help them re-build their lives.
Ikram Foundation recognizes that there is limited formal support for divorced or widowed Muslim women in the United States. This population along with their children are at an increased risk of poverty, homelessness, loss of family, community support, stigma, shame, and depression.
Additionally, Muslim women have complex barriers that may affect their ability to be employed. These barriers can include: Lack of education and or work experience, lack of confidence, trauma background, language barriers, health problems, and special needs children.
Ikram Foundation is able to increase confidence, income security, build a community around the client, and increase a sense of worthiness and purpose. When you donate to Ikram Foundation, you are changing the life course for women and their families. Statistically, we know that women who have a higher education can break the cycle of poverty by earning a living wage providing for better health outcomes for the entire family.
