Pillars of Peace Inc.
Mission
Pillars of Peace’s mission is dedicated to creating communities of care. We provide culturally and linguistically conscious services to survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, with expertise serving the diverse Muslim community, using a holistic, trauma-informed approach.
Vision
Our vision is to provide safe spaces and a variety of services to all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence and to advocate for the vulnerable populations we serve. We aim to enhance our social fabric by addressing gaps in services built upon Islamic tradition and values and on our shared common practices. Using a restorative justice lens, our goal is to eliminate harm, provide support and advocate for survivors’ choices helping them obtain the justice they seek and live the life best fit for themselves and their families. Built on principles of empowerment, wellness and transparency, our mission and goals are rooted in community trust and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. We will continue to advocate for these rights on behalf of victims and survivors of domestic and gender-based violence everywhere.
Goals
- 1.Our first project was Noora House – a 15 bed shelter for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence that is in keeping with our traditions. he Noora House is a culturally and linguistically conscious space with doors open to all and expertise serving the Muslim community.
- 2.As of February 2025, we have launched our internal microgrants program where we provide quick financial relief to our clients with needs up to $300. We saw that our standard channel of sending clients to Zakat Fund NYC was a bit lengthy and some clients needed help ASAP. So we raised funds to have our own system where we could provide financial relief within two business days for smaller needs.
- 3.Since 2024, we have been working to grow our educational programing and outreach within the Muslim community. Though we predominantly provide victim services, we also want to be dedicated to creating communities of care. We have both virtual and in-person educational programing focused on healthy relationship building. We want to expand upon this and have at least one event a month.
