We actively support individuals and families in our community by providing food and essential household supplies. So far, we have helped 500 people with food assistance.

Our commitment to mental health continues as we engage and support women through emotional wellbeing initiatives, including exercise and meaningful conversations.

We proudly participated in the International Women Empowerment Programme in New York City CSW69 March 2025, contributing to discussions and actions that promote gender equality in politics, education, economics and etc.
