The National Foundation’s funding

women, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, and to reduce the prevalence of domestic
violence through increased service provision, education, and awareness.

Improve the quality of life of families with a member or members in prison,
through the provision of services responsive to their needs.

networks to enable them to lead fulfilled and successful lives.
