Refugee Women Rising collaborates with hundreds of women across Douglas County every year.
Refugee Women Rising has proudly developed meaningful and mutually-beneficial relationships with refugees, refugee leaders, and refugee service providers throughout the greater Omaha area. To date, we’ve served thousands of women refugees and are fierce advocates for this incredibly marginalized population.
To ensure there is no duplication of services, we pick up where resettlement agency services end, offering practical skills training, intentional social-emotional programming and culturally appropriate, holistic wellness programming to refugee women — regardless of their time in the country.
Mission
Through compassionate, culturally sensitive programming and relationships, we collaborate with refugee women to further themselves personally and professionally.
