Welcome to ISAW

ISAW provides refugee and immigrant women and girls with opportunities that promote long-term self-sufficiency to improve the quality of life for themselves, their family and community.

ISAW helps those in need become self-sufficient, productive and contributing members of the economy.

"We want a hands-on, not a hand-out. A hand-out creates dependency, while hands-on promotes independence." —Agitu Wodajo
