Please support our work on the ground. In the last year we’ve spent over 250 hours delivering counselling and pastoral care to those facing:
- Domestic violence and spousal abuse

- Porn addiction
- Cognitive racial bias of gender and race due to trauma and perception issues
- Deindividuation and burnout from groups and sects

This year we aim to increase our work!
Al-Madad stands for “reinforcement”. We reinforce the Imaan (belief) of those Muslims on the brink as a result of life’s tests and tribulations. Who see only despair ahead and whom crises have come close to breaking. When urgent intervention into a crisis is necessary, Al-Madad provides the support, love, care and intervention needed to ensure the two most important things are rescued: Life and Religion. This is Al-Madad’s mission: to be an ally to the community when time is of the essence.
