- What is TMWF?
- Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation (TMWF) is a U.S. based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization working to empower, promote and support all women and their families through education, outreach, philanthropy and social services.

- Where does my money go?
- Every dollar that you donate will directly support the work of TMWF, especially PEACE IN THE HOME social services. We assist women and their families who are struggling irrespective of their background, ethnicity or religion. We also provide assistance to immigrants, refugees, the poor and the victims of domestic violence. Services include 24 hour hotline, case management, crisis counseling, child therapy, services for the elderly, short-term financial assistance, translation in 14 languages, food, clothing and basic needs, Peaceful Oasis Shelter, transitional housing and legal assistance.
- Why help TMWF?
- The welfare of women and their children, regardless of their religion or race, is the foundation of a healthy community. When you support TMWF you are helping achieve this goal of supporting women and their children by breaking the cycle of violence within future generations. It is a widely proven fact that the majority of abusers were themselves victims of domestic violence. Muslim women that are victims of domestic violence need culturally and spiritually sensitive services to help them and their children. When you support TMWF you are supporting this underserved population!
- What is the Peaceful Oasis Shelter?
- The Peaceful Oasis Shelter is a 24-hour crisis shelter run by TMWF for women and their children who are victims of domestic violence. It offers women a safe refuge and a welcoming place to start anew. We welcome individuals of all backgrounds, and we are also able to accommodate spiritual, cultural, dietary and language needs of Muslim women not addressed in the mainstream shelters.
Services include: 24 hour emergency hotline and shelter, case management and assistance, counseling, child therapy and legal services.

We are a SeeYourImpact partner helping women escape from family violence
One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. These women face extreme real life concerns for their safety and the safety of their children. Muslim women in particular face additional barriers that prevent them from seeking help. Many do not even know that there are agencies that can help them. Many do not speak English, have no transportation, have no access to family finances and are totally dependent on their husbands and their extended families. They find themselves and their children helpless and stuck in the abusive situation. TMWF is determined to change that!
Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation (TMWF) takes a comprehensive strategy to addressing family violence. It includes providing direct intervention services and extensive community education. TMWF saves lives through the “Peaceful Oasis” emergency shelter, a 24 – hour crisis hotline and transitional housing.
We need your donations and support to cover the $30,000/month operating cost of the Peaceful Oasis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence! Please help by donating $250 for one week of groceries for one family or $100 for bus passes to work for one client for one month.
