Amanah (Safety) House
Five organizations have collaborated to open Amanah (Safety) House, the first domestic violence shelter opened to support Muslim women. While Amanah House is open to serving all women who are victims of domestic violence, this shelter is specifically tailored to adhere to the cultural and linguistic needs of Muslim women.
The five organizations include My Sister’s House, MAS Social Services Foundation (MAS-SSF), Al- Misbah, Masjid Annur, and ICNA Relief.
Our main goal is to provide a safe environment where our sisters and their children can start a new chapter in their life.
