their journey of self-actualization

Women's Initiative for Self-Empowerment (WISE) is a non-profit organization that supports immigrant and refugee women, girls, and those on the feminine gender spectrum in their journey of self-actualization through culturally responsive education, advocacy, systems change, and resource development.

Being a daughter of refugee parents, I am deeply committed to championing and aiding organizations that foster the well-being and advancement of young women within our community.

Had it not been for the nonprofits and dedicated organizations like WISE, devoted to bolstering community strength with additional resources, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to pursue higher education, establish a network of inspiring mentors, and initiate my own business endeavors.

ALL girls & women deserve education and safety. Immigrant and refugee females are a reservoir of creativity, brilliance, resiliency, and future leaders. These families play an integral role in the prosperity of mainstream communities.

We are WISE work to lift these women and girls to be SEEN and not invisible, to be HEARD and not underestimated, and to THRIVE with the tools and resources we provide.

Please make a contribution today, in any amount you are able and willing to. Your donation truly makes a grand difference.
