Mpango wa Wanawake Wakimbizi na Wahamiaji–RAMWI (Unaotamkwa ram-wee) sio wa Faida & 501(c)(3) Msaada ulianza mwaka wa 2013. Dhamira yetu ni kuwaleta pamoja wakimbizi na wanawake wahamiaji na familia zao. Kwa kufanya hivyo, tunawawezesha, kuwashirikisha na kuwasaidia wanawake ambao ni wapya katika eneo la Tampa Bay wakati wa awamu ngumu za makazi mapya na mpito.
Dhamira Yetu
Ni kuimarisha maisha ya wakimbizi na wanawake wahamiaji katika jamii kwa kutoa fursa ya kuponya, kushirikiana na wengine huku wakijifunza ujuzi unaohitajika ili kujitegemea, kujipanga na kujitetea.
RAMWI inawapa wanawake fursa ya kuja pamoja katika mazingira ya kukaribisha na kuunga mkono ambayo inaruhusu ukuaji na uponyaji. Kwa pamoja wanawake wetu hupata ujuzi na ujuzi unaohitajika ili kupitia jumuiya zao mpya. Pia tunatetea ushiriki wa moja kwa moja wa wakimbizi katika vyombo vya kufanya maamuzi ambavyo vinaathiri maisha yao ya kila siku.


Note From the Founder
My name is Florence Ackey, and I am the Founding Director for Refugee & Migrant Women's Initiative, Inc. (RAMWI). When I formed RAMWI, in 2013, my goal was to create a supportive community for newly arrived refugee, migrant, and other vulnerable women in Tampa Bay.
To date, RAMWI has served over 700 women and families, from 17 countries. The unique programming provided by RAMWI addresses the logistical needs of refugee and migrant women in our community through skill-building workshops and economic self-development, while also providing opportunities for social support and personal healing through Support Groups.
Our Board of Directors, many devoted volunteers, and amazing community partners work together to ensure that our programs empower women to preserve their cultural identity as they settle within the Tampa Bay area and develop new skills and connections in the community.
However, it is the knowledge, perseverance, and hope shared by each woman participating in the programs which is the catalyst for our success. Through their self-advocacy and self-development, program participants are able not only to foster growth, healing, and success within their own lives but also have the ability to impact the lives of other refugee and migrant women in their community.
If you would like to support our mission of enhancing the lives of refugee and migrant women in the community by providing opportunities to heal, connect with others, and learn valuable skills for economic and self-development, I invite you to contact us. We welcome your donation of time, expertise, and/or resources.
Thank you,
Florence Ackey
