Our History
The organization was founded in 2009 by Umeda Sadriddinova in Dushanbe. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of women and their children find safety, gain new skills, and start a new life. Our comprehensive strategy includes crisis center operations, economic sustainability programs, and capacity-building activities.
