  • REFUGEES FACE MANY BARRIERS TO ACCESSING COMPREHENSIVE AND EQUITABLE EDUCATION, WORK, AND HEALTH SOLUTIONS. ALTHOUGH RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES ASSIST REFUGEES WITH INTEGRATING INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES, THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THEIR ONGOING NEEDS- INCLUDING THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS. REFUGEE WOMEN, IN PARTICULAR, OFTEN FACE ADDITIONAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION. TO ADDRESS THESE UNIQUE NEEDS, WE OFFER A SAFE SPACE FOR REFUGEE WOMEN PHYSCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY. WE UNDERTAND THAT SELF EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS CRITICAL FOR THEIR LONG-TERM INTEGRATION INTO A NEW CULTURE AND COMMUNITY. WE RELY ON WOMEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE TO SHARE PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY PRIORITIES FOR INTENTIONAL CURRICULA. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH OFFERING VARIOUS CLASSES AND OTHER EVENTS.

    Expenses $41,241

  • AT EACH HOMEDISH EVENT, GUEST CHEFS PREPARE TRADITIONAL FOODS FROM THEIR HOMELAND AND SHARE STORIES OF THEIR REFUGEE EXPERIENCE WITH ATTENDEES. THROUGH CUISINE AND CONVERSATION, WE CREATE UNDERSTANDING, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, AND STRENGTHEN THE LIVELIHOODS OF REFUGEE WOMEN IN OMAHA.
