Keeping Women from Falling Through the Cracks
In New York City, services exist — but navigating them without language access or support can be overwhelming.
Safa Sanctuary bridges that gap.
The mission of Safa Sanctuary Inc. is to support, empower, educate, and guide women from AMEMSA, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities in Brooklyn and Queens. We serve as community navigators, bridging the gap between women’s needs and available systems of support, and partner with community-based organizations to help women heal, grow, and thrive.
Services
Community Support Line
A confidential first point of contact for women seeking guidance, clarity, or support. We listen, assess needs, and help callers understand their options for navigating legal, medical, housing, and community services — without pressure or judgment.
Case Management & Advocacy
Ongoing one-on-one support to help women navigate systems that are often confusing or inaccessible. We help coordinate care, communicate with service providers, and advocate for clients’ needs with dignity and cultural understanding.
Client Navigation & Accompaniment
Hands-on support to help clients navigate complex systems such as healthcare, legal, housing, and public benefits. We accompany clients to appointments, assist with forms and documentation, provide interpretation support when needed, and help ensure clients understand their options and next steps.
Culturally Responsive Education & Empowerment
Education and skill-building rooted in cultural understanding and lived experience. Safa provides workshops, resources, and one-on-one guidance that help clients understand their rights, options, and systems impacting their lives, so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
