About | Refugee Women Center Connecticut

WHO WE ARE

In November 2023, a passionate collective of individuals, deeply engaged in refugee support, launched the Refugee Women’s Center in Hartford, CT. This nonprofit organization is committed to empowering refugee women, guiding them towards self-sufficiency with dignity, resilience, and a sense of community.

Our vision for the Refugee Women's Center is to become a beacon of hope and empowerment through the establishment of a comprehensive support system anchored in our four fundamental pillars of service and ensure their successful integration and personal growth within the community:

Social Programs

Skill-Focused Programs

Educational Workshops

Social Enterprise Programs

In this endeavor, RWC will...

· Provide programs and services in collaboration with other nonprofit organizations, government departments, and local businesses;

· Remain flexible to meet the changing needs of the client population.

· Utilize the expertise of volunteers, students, and professionals in the greater-Hartford area.

· Promote independence and leadership by involving the women in decision-making, and program planning and delivery.
