Twenty years

Two decades of answering the call.

For twenty years, Naseeha has been the voice on the other end of the line for someone at their lowest point. What began as a single helpline has grown into Canada’s only 24/7 Muslim youth helpline, open every hour of every day.

This gala is how we say thank you, and how we keep the helpline open for the next twenty years. Behind every call is a young person who deserves to find someone ready to listen.

Join us for an evening of gratitude, reflection, and hope.
