Maryam Home
(Women’s Shelter)
Maryam Home, a project of ICNA Relief Canada, is a temporary shelter home for women experiencing abuse. ICNA Relief has recently purchased a property for Maryam Home in a safe, middle-class neighbourhood in Mississauga to open our first ever Shelter Home for women who are fleeing abusive relationships and are in need of a safe place to live.
Maryam Home will be open to all women but primarily seek to serve the needs of single, Muslim women who find themselves in abusive domestic situations in and around the GTA. The home will provide women with a place of temporary residence, Halal meals, along with a variety of other culturally compatible counselling & wellness services by qualified caregivers and staff to help them return to living normal, respectful and dignified lives.
ICNA Relief has already purchased a suitable property in Mississauga and requires 1 million dollars to renovate, furnish, staff the facility and begin operations by June 2015, In Shaa Allah.
