Anduhyaun Inc. is a non-profit registered charity founded by four grandmothers in 1973 to respond to the needs of Toronto's Indigenous women. It first opened as a hostel, and now provides emergency shelter and second stage transitional housing to women and their children fleeing violence. We make culturally-inclusive, safe spaces available for those who come through our doors to focus on their healing and wellness journey.
Anduhyaun means “Our Home” in the Ojibwa language. Since 1973 Anduhyaun Inc. has become home to thousands of women and children recovering from the traumas of violence and homelessness.
The Snow Moon, in the cold month of February, is traditionally a time of endurance and reflection. In the spirit of growth, Anduhyaun has undergone a lot of development over the last few years. Come celebrate our first in-person fundraiser since the pandemic, hear about what we've up to, and meet our new leadership team!
Together, we celebrate the resiliency of Indigenous women and empower their journey towards healing and independence.
