Welcome to Tarbiyyah Horizons

Where Community and Care Come Together

At Tarbiyyah Horizons, we believe that every child deserves the
opportunity to thrive in a safe, supportive, and nurturing
environment. Our foster and staff modelled care initiative, designed specifically for Muslim children and youth, ages 0-18, offers culturally responsive foster homes, and staff-modelled homes. Rooted in the principles of Ubuntu, our care model
emphasizes community, support, and mutual respect, ensuring
that children can flourish in an environment that honors their
cultural and religious identities. We are proud to continue the work of Farah Family Solutions Inc., expanding our services to create more culturally sensitive foster care options for Ontario’s most vulnerable children.
