FATE (Foster Care)
Established in 2017, aims to provide a safe home for every Muslim child living in the foster care system in the US. Our liaisons connect children in the foster care system to Muslim foster homes and mentors in our communities. The FATE program guides and supports foster families, linking them to the resources on their journey to help children in need. We assist unaccompanied minors in partnership with childcare agencies and provide religious and cultural training services.
