AL-NAHDA CENTERNFP

AL-Nahda Center is a community organization that fosters social, educational, religious, health, wellness and healing in the southwest suburbs by organizing for social change, cultivating the Islamic heritage, and operating holistic programs and services .

NAHDA incorporated as a nonprofit in 2014 through the drive of people directly affected by and deeply invested in social issues affecting communities living in Chicago's southwest suburbs .

NAHDA believes strongly in the need to create long-term alliances that bridge cultural, racial, ethnic and religious divides and that are deeply grounded in a sense of mutual trust for one another and in a commitment to a common vision for change.

NAHDA believes that providing a range of direct services effects positive change not only with those who use our services but with those who provide them as well. It is awareness of the potential of this mutually transformative process that is an integral part of a holistic approach to community change.

NAHDA’S organizing efforts are led by our broad base including those who access our key services such as educational, Food Pantry and health care, economic and professional development.
