Third Safe Home For Women

InshaAllah in August 2017, Nisa Homes aims to open up its third location in Canada in Windsor, Ontario. Like our two other homes, this home will provide women and children with a safe place to stay and help to get back on their feet as they overcome challenges such as domestic violence, being refugees, poverty and homelessness.

Why do we need a Nisa Homes Windsor?

First and Only Transitional Home for Muslim Women In Canada

Nisa Homes, a project of the National Zakat Foundation, is the first and only group of transitional homes in Canada for Muslim women and children. Currently, we have two homes, one in Mississauga, ON and the other in Surrey, BC. Since launching in 2015, we have assisted over 140 women and children restart their lives, but the need is ever growing. We receive at least 5 calls a week from Muslim women across Canada in need of a safe place to stay.

In addition to providing shelter and basic necessities, Nisa Homes provides the following services to our women and children to help them gain independence and self-sufficiency.
