Rebuilding After Family Violence

Mouna is a single mother of two young children. Recently divorced and a survivor of family violence, she is doing her best to rebuild a safe and stable life for her family.

Despite receiving Centrelink income and child support, the rising cost of living has pushed Mouna into severe financial hardship.

Currently unemployed, Mouna’s monthly expenses far exceed her income, leaving her with a $1,500 shortfall each month.

When she reached out to NZF, she was overwhelmed. Her utility bills had stacked up to over $1,100, and she was without basic household items like a working fridge and vacuum, making daily life even harder for her and her children.

After assessment, we determined that Mouna falls under the 'needy' category of Zakat, as she has some income, but it is insufficient to meet her current needs. With your Zakat, Mouna received the financial assistance she urgently needed to cover her outstanding bills and purchase the household items she needed.

For women like Mouna, striving to heal from trauma and start anew, your Zakat offers more than just financial relief. It provides dignity, hope, and the boost they need to regain their strength and rebuild their future.

Today, Mouna is not only more stable, she's a stronger, more hopeful mother, able to give her children the love, safety, and comfort they deserve.
