This Ramadhan, there are women and children who have left everything behind to escape abuse - leaving their homes, their security, sometimes even their families — choosing safety.

There are over 50 of your sisters and their children in the EHUK women’s refuges who are rebuilding their lives from the ground up, carrying trauma no one should have to endure, while trying to create stability and healing for their children.

Your zakat and sadaqa are not just donations; they are protection, warmth, food on the table, counselling, safety locks on doors, and hope in hearts that have known fear for far too long.

Your support, even £10 or £20 means consistency — it means a child can sleep knowing tomorrow is secure and the screaming, hitting and pain has finally stopped. A Mother who can begin to heal without worrying about how she will hide the bruises when she goes shopping.

Give for the sake of Allah. Give because that sister and her children's new beginning may begin with you.
