Shelter and care for women in difficulty

Whatever circumstances have led to a woman arriving at Logifem’s doors, our goal is that she will leave the shelter with new courage, confidence and hope.

Caring for families

Some of Logifem’s rooms are for women with children under 12 years old. Our largest family room can accommodate a mother with three children. We also have seven transitional apartments for families.
