| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Ethnic Minority Welsh Women Achievement Association (EMWWAA) formerly known as the Welsh Asian Women Achievement Award (WAWAA) is a charitable organisation that aims to create a network of women and girls of ethnic minority origin across Wales to provide beacons of inspiration for current and upcoming generations! EMWWAA's aim is to empower and inspire women and girls of ethnic minorities in Wales through recognition of their contributions. We aim to identify role models for the communities and facilitate community cohesion and integration with the mainstream systems. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
EMWWAA is able to recognise and celebrate the achievements of wonderful women of ethnic origin by organizing a biennial awards ceremony. EMWWAA profiles the achievements of women who are at multiple disadvantages-not only are they women, but they are also ethnic minority women who have faced barriers of language, culture, appearance, and religion. EMWWAA seeks to make visible how these women have made significant contributions to Wales and to Welsh life and how they have used their talent to help and inspire others. Attending and participation events that further the objects of the charity. In December 2018 the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant for EMWWAA to deliver a project for“70 Years of Struggle |
| and Achievement: Life Stories of Ethnic Minority Women in Wales”. This project will reveal how ethnic minority women have built lives in Wales and made significant contributions to Welsh society. Our focus is on the life stories of ethnic minority women who were born or have settled in various parts of Wales since 1948. This oral history, collected in both audio and audio-visual forms and complemented by family photos, will form the basis for a book, DVD, website, and an archive. It will be made accessible to a wide audience via the Peoples’ Collection. The women featured include both some from long-settled often mixed families and women who have come from various parts of South and East Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Some arrived as migrant workers, others as refugees, students, or the wives of students. Their life experience is an important part of the history of multi-ethnic Wales and helps chart social changes since the 1950s. Individual stories testify both to struggle against the odds and to the remarkable contribution that minority women have made to many sectors of Welsh society. |
