Every project Sakeenah undertakes, we do so with local community partners who are able to help us understand the specific and unique needs of their communities
We are for our communities, by our communities. We work with the different levels of government, local religious institutions, community centres, medical and health professionals, and local social service agency partners to provide support to the local community we serve.
The organizations that we choose as our Community Partners have demonstrated a community-centered approach, excellent work with their communities, and a deep knowledge of social services. We work closely with our community partners in bringing programming to different areas.

Every night, thousands of women and children in Canada face homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We are on a mission to change that.
While Sakeenah functions at a national level, our head office and The People’s Market operate out of land that is part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.
Sakeenah believes that while a land acknowledgement is the first step, we also understand that land acknowledgements alone are not sufficient to redress the harm caused by centuries of land theft, forced displacement and ongoing acts of settler colonialism. We recognize that this work is ongoing and complex, and we are dedicated to doing our part to create a better future for all.
