The Baitul Salaam Residence for Abused and Neglected Women and Children
Since November 1,
1999 the shelter program has housed 608 women and children from various parts of the US and four foreign countries (Pakistan,
India, Egypt, Ghana and Tanzania). Through our outreach program we have assisted thousands with gas money and bus fare
to look for work, referrals for medical assistance, housing, legal and many other services.
Baitul
Salaam came into being to meet a specific need. There were no services dealing with domestic abuse and neglect designed
to meet the unique needs of Muslim families. Baitul Salaam meets those unique needs without being any less
effective for or inviting to non-Muslim families. Over the years Baitul Salaam has served many non-Muslim families.
The Shelter Program needs a minimum of $150,000 to meet the present need of our community. Such will enable
a 24/7 hotline, pay salaries for a salaried staff of four, and increase our intervention services in general.
The organization needs an additional $100,000 per year to properly fund the Education and Advocacy Programs. Our goal
is to raise the total sum of $250,000 per year by December of each year, insh'Allah.
Your assistance
is needed to reach this goal. Your individual donation of $3 per month goes a long way to feed, clothe and shelter families
in crisis. We ask organizations, masaajid and business owners to donate a minimum of $25 per month.
