Texas Muslim Womens Foundation

In 2005, against the backdrop of a post 9/11 world, Dr. Hind Jarrah, Ph.D., assembled a diverse group of Muslim women in the North Texas region. Their objective was to serve the local community while representing a positive example of Muslims - specifically, Muslim women.

In assessing the needs of the community, the following became clear: Muslim victims of domestic violence were in dire need of culturally specific and trauma-informed services; Muslim parents desired leadership programs for their children; and, the general public felt a growing need to understand the Muslim faith and create bridges in the face of fear.

With these varying needs in hand, the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation was formed. TMWF aimed to promote peace and understanding within the family unit and across the many diverse communities in North Texas. As we have grown, we have expanded our services and outreach beyond North Texas and to the rest of the nation.
