Zahra Foundation Australia Grants Program

At Zahra Foundation, we offer a variety of grants to support women and female-identifying individuals impacted by domestic and family violence. Our grants provide financial assistance to help overcome barriers related to education, employment, and housing stability. We aim to empower women to rebuild their lives without the fear of falling into extreme poverty or homelessness.
