We’re excited to announce the opening of our first transitional home in the US, located in Chicago, Illinois.
We are thrilled to announce the opening of Sakeenah’s very first transitional home in Chicago—a haven of hope and healing for women and children in need.
This milestone is more than just a building; it’s a lifeline. It’s a safe space where vulnerable women can rebuild their lives, find stability, and regain independence. With Chicago as the heart of this initiative, we’re answering the call to serve our community with compassion and purpose.
The home will provide:
✅ Shelter and safety for women and their children escaping abuse, homelessness, or crisis situations.
✅ Supportive programs like counseling, life skills training, and career development.
✅ A pathway to independence, empowering women to take control of their futures.
This is the beginning of a transformative journey for countless families—but we can’t do it alone.
