RWR's focus on outreach to & education of women is paramount to supporting refugee families. With the extreme diversity of language & culture, we strive to find creative & culturally appropriate ways to serve.
​

Women in Afghanistan have been persecuted for decades and now the crisis has heightened. Hundreds of Afghan families will be resettled in Nebraska beginning later in the fall thru LFS and REC (resettlement agencies).  Our bilingual former associate director, Kubra (pictured holding cake), is a native Hazara and offers unique insight and opportunity for connection. RWR programming will remain fluid to meet the needs and wants of newly arrived Afghan families & those who already call Omaha home.  ​

Donations are much welcomed & can be sent thru our PayPal account or mailed to us at 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE 68131

We have no time for further enmities & people’s suffering.  We must make our voices louder & louder for our sacred & noble cause towards a bright future for women.
