Why women?
-
50% of the world's refugees are women and girls.
-
Women advocate for children, our elders...and they must advocate for themselves as well.
-
Women promote education and sustainability; and they are valuable, dynamic, economic contributors.
Our Values
Community, Collaboration, Diversity, Inclusion, Advocacy, and Self-sufficiency
Programs
RAMWI programs are designed to empower refugee and migrant women in the Tampa Bay area through strengths-based education and advocacy. Our programs enhance the lives of these diverse women new to our community by providing opportunities to heal, build new connections, and develop skills that can foster self-sustainable economic opportunities while engaging community partners in the process. Through RAMWI programs, we are building a network of peer support, collective healing, community partnership, and incredible women able to advocate for themselves and their families. In 2020, RAMWI was awarded Best Organization of the Year by the National Association of Social Work, Tampa Bay Chapter.
