Muslim Foster Care Initiative

If a child must ever leave home, they should not have to leave their deen.
Prevent

Keep families whole

Our first mission is prevention: early counseling, safety planning, and parenting support so that child-welfare involvement never becomes necessary.

Stand with

Support families in the system

When social services are involved, we help parents navigate the process — counseling documentation, reunification-plan support, and referrals to qualified family-law resources — working toward safe reunification wherever possible.

Preserve

Muslim foster homes

We recruit, prepare, and support Muslim families to become licensed foster parents through their state's licensed agencies — so that if placement ever happens, children can remain in homes that preserve their faith, language, and identity.

Honest about our role

Mawaddah is not a foster placement agency. Foster licensing and placement are controlled by your state and its licensed agencies. Our role is recruitment, Islamic preparation and ongoing support of foster families, and advocacy so that agencies can find Muslim homes when a Muslim child needs one.
