Give Them ShelterWhen Mercy Appears
When Hajar (AS) ran between Safa and Marwa, relief came from where she least expected it, Zamzam, a source of life in the middle of hardship.
Today, mercy still arrives in unexpected ways. For mothers in crisis, it comes through your support in the form of:
Safe Shelter
When there is nowhere to go
Food & Basic Necessities
When there is nothing left
Counselling
When trauma feels overwhelming
