Womens Refugee Care

When refugees arrive in the United States, many organizations come together to meet basic needs for their first 3 months. But our founders know more than anyone that holistic and long-lasting community care must extend beyond that. We help African refugee families transition in the United States by helping them become self-sufficient and productive members of American society, while also providing a place of community for them to maintain their cultural and ethnic identity as they assimilate to life in the U.S. through a variety of programs. We advocate for the needs of refugees in the U.S., serving as a resource for agencies and groups to foster a greater understanding of the refugee community in the state of Rhode Island. We promote gender equality among the refugee community, and believe that strong and informed women and mothers promote healthy, productive families and communities
