Zaman International

Mission: To facilitate change and advance the lives of marginalized women and children, by enabling them to meet essential needs common to all humankind.

Zaman International is a world-class nonprofit organization with more than 25 years of on-the-ground experience in empowering women and children to break the cycle of extreme poverty. Since 2010 we have helped over 480,000 of our neighbors in southeast Michigan, while serving more than 4.7 million around the world.

Since our founding in 1996, Zaman has grown from a grassroots group of volunteers to a world-class global nonprofit. The success of our organization and continued growth comes from the passion and dedication to our mission shared by our team, volunteers, supporters and community partners.

Zaman applies a needs-based, community-driven approach to help households meet their basic needs and break the cycle of poverty through evolving education, workforce development and employment programs at our Hope For Humanity Center in Inkster, Michigan near Detroit.

Unlike many organizations, we develop personal relationships with our clients through home visits and regular in-person consultations to ensure assistance can quickly and effectively meet their diverse set of needs. By both providing urgent assistance and promoting self-reliance as a means to pursuing sustainable employment, Zaman helps transition families from a hand-out to a hands-on model.
