Impact Report 2022

Impact Report 2022

 To the beautiful community supporting Muslim women beyond the shahadah, before we enter the blessed month of Ramadan once again, we are reflecting on the impact we’ve made together.

🏠 In 2022, Solace was a team of 18 women and 28 volunteers. Alhamdulillah, more and more people are applying to join our wonderful team of volunteers.

A message from one of the revert women we helped together:

“I remember the moment I was pulled out of the trance at the voice of my support worker saying, ‘Sister, if I could just run through your application, then we can get you the right help.’ My father abandoned me. I had no money, no support… My support worker had been a shoulder to cry on and an ear to be heard after months of being spoken to and abused. Solace became the answer to my prayers.”

We truly wouldn’t be able to do this work without you.

We ask Allah to reward you with much abundance and goodness in this life and the hereafter,
