Story

Solace UK for revert sisters in difficulty has been supporting revert sisters for the past 7 years. 

There have been very sad times when we have received calls from the public or revert sisters themselves that they have no place to sleep for the night. 

How do they find themselves homeless?

* Discovery of their conversion from family members who proceed to kick them out

* Conversion whilst married to a non-Muslim husband who gives the revert sister an ultimatum

* Sudden financial difficulty leading to eviction

* Revert sisters who embraced Islam in their native country, arrived in the UK where they believed they would have a better chance of practising their faith  and then finding themselves with nowhere to live

We are fundraising for an emergency fund for the rest of 2017 that will provide emergency housing so that no revert sister finds herself in a homeless position.
