Our History
Nisa Foundation, a registered charity since 2019, started as Nisa Helpline in 2014 with the goal of supporting women and girls in overcoming any and all of life's challenges.
Built by a group of dedicated Muslim women who personal experiences through all walks of life, saw the need and the gap, and took it upon themselves to do something about it.
In 2023, Nisa Foundation welcomed Nisa Homes, previously a project of the National Zakat Foundation, under its umbrella. Similar to Nisa Helpline, Nisa Homes was born out of a need to not only provide safe shelters for women & children due to the huge demand, but to also address the bigger need of providing culturally responsive shelters for marginalized women & children. This includes women of color, Muslim women, immigrants, refugees and those without status.
