Over the last three years, domestic violence has increased by 30% in Canada. * At the same time, hate crimes have increased by 25%, while we're also facing a cost of living and housing crisis. All of these challenges make it harder for women to not only leave abusive relationships but seek help or get back on their feet. 

My heart aches for the women and children who have nowhere to turn in these difficult times. That's why I'm asking for your help to raise $20,000 to protect Muslim women and children across Canada this Ramadan. During a time when the reward for our good deeds and giving are amplified, let's come together as a family and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. 

Nisa Foundation programs - Nisa Homes, Nisa Helpline, and Nisa Learning - aim to build strong, safe communities by tackling these different barriers & violence against women through not just our shelters and mental health counselling but also through prevention and educational workshops to address the root cause. But they need our help to make this a reality! 

Nisa Foundation, which brought together Nisa Helpline and Nisa Homes (formerly a part of the National Zakat Foundation Canada), serves as a pillar of support for all Muslim women and children across Canada, regardless of background and status. As they navigate the unique challenges of domestic violence, homelessness, and mental health issues, we stand as the only organization uniquely tailored to address their needs. 

Nisa Foundation is Zakat eligible and commits to distribute your Zakat to those in need to create real change and transformation with transparency and accountability.

Since 2015, we’ve grown significantly, establishing ten shelters nationwide that have provided safe shelter for over 1,700 women and children. Our impact goes beyond sheltering as we received over 52,000 calls for holistic helpline support. Together, Nisa Homes and Nisa Helpline have empowered thousands of women to reclaim their lives and independence, providing the tools and support needed to thrive.
