WOMEN REFUGEE CARE

Description

When refugees arrive in the United States, many organizations come together to meet basic needs for their first 3 months. But out founders know more than anyone that holistic and long-lasting community care must extend beyond that. We facilitate the transition for refugee families in the United States by helping them become self-sufficient and productive members of American society. We provide a place of community for African refugees to maintain their cultural and ethnic identity as they assimilate to life in the U.S.

We promote gender equality among the refugee community. We believe that strong and informed women and mothers promote healthy, productive families and communities. We advocate for the needs of refugees in the U.S. and serve as a resource fo agencies and groups to foster a greater understanding of the refugee community in the state of Rhode Island.
