We empower lives and change circumstances.
We intend to raise awareness in our local area as well as worldwide to the gaps that persist in the lives of newcomers. Our organization works to eliminate lack related to basic needs. Sometimes it is as simple as showing them where to find a jar of peanut butter in the supermarket, where and how to shop economically. They do know 'peanut butter', but it is in a unfamiliar container and the name is written in a language (English) which most don't understand. In addition, we provide training, workshops, and support that assists newcomers to gain employment; improve life and soft skills, as well as improve access to resources related to education, housing, health and wellness.
