Homes for Widows

Homes for Widows

For many women around the world, life is made even harder as a widow. They have no support, yet, the world around them does not stop. They have bills to pay, mouths to feed, a household to run and children to raise.

We launched Homes for Widows to uplift widows and their children.

Our goal is to provide widows and their children a safe environment to live peacefully and raise their children. We will provide them with housing at no cost to them.

"One who cares for widows and the poor is like those who fight in the way of Allah or those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying." [Bukhari]

We have already built homes in Nepal, Kashmir (Pakistan) and Sindh (Pakistan). Your donations are Zakat-Eligible.

Nepal: Starting at $5000 CAD for a 2-bedroom home

Pakistan: Starting at $5000 CAD (depending on region and family size)

You may sponsor a full home or contribute any amount (min. $10 CAD) to this noble cause.

You may pay monthly or one-time.
