Our women's group currently has 98 members, some isolated seniors, some DV survivors, some refugees, all migrants. The goal is to educate & empower these women by means of workshops/information sessions and partnerships with homeless organisations as well as linking them with support services they were not previously aware of. This will be done by holding regular workshops with other providers, by involving them in recreational and craft activities and then getting them to either sell the items (at local markets) they have made and donate the money to other charities or donate the items directly.
It not only helps the women in our group, but it will help many other charities/members of our community that our group will be supporting. Social cohesion is imperative and this grant will assist us in educating these women who would otherwise isolate themselves in fear of not being able to fit in/or in fear of not being useful. Women need to be empowered and taught how a little bit of community involvement can go a long way.
This project will not only be open to women in our group, however any other woman in the Bosnian community Melbourne wide.
