Provides shelter & services for a woman and her children.
These women are not strangers – they are in our community, in our neighbourhoods, in our schools, in our workplaces – and their story intertwines with ours. Her story is our story, and the responsibility for their safety lies with us.
We, as a community, need to work together to be one ummah like the Prophet ﷺ taught us. This Dhul Hijjah, we need to come together to support the vulnerable, giving them a safe place, trusted guidance and access to resources to start over.

"I’ve always been told I have a lovely smile. But behind it, I hid my misery, thoughts of suicide, and sleepless nights filled with tears. I was married for a decade with two children and a seemingly loving husband. But behind closed doors, he was emotionally, verbally, and financially abusive.
After discovering his affair, I felt crushed and blamed myself. Desperate and without resources, I reached out to an old friend who told me about Nisa Homes. I called them the same day and moved in within a week. The woman who greeted me hugged me and whispered, 'You are not alone!' For the first time, I felt safe.
With their support, I divorced my husband, found a job, and gained shared custody of my children. Nisa Homes sheltered me, provided food and safety, and reminded me of my strength and resilience. Now my smile is genuine, and my heart feels full."3
Rania sat alone in her room, the weight of despair hung heavy on her fragile shoulders. Her son’s respectful demeanor had recently turned hostile, and he was now exploiting her for his own financial gain.
With trembling hands, she picked up the phone and called Nisa Helpline.
The counsellor offered Rania practical advice, resources, and instilled a renewed sense of courage and determination to regain control of her life. Rania’s journey towards independence was not easy, but armed with the resources and guidance from an empathetic counselor she navigated the complexities of legal proceedings and sought refuge in a safe space.4
