OVERVIEW

We are a women-led UK-registered charity (no. 1190367) that supports Somali women living in London, UK. We provide training, advocacy support and a befriending service.

We support women fleeing from domestic abuse, by providing practical and emotional support. We also deliver training in Domestic Violence Awareness, Parenting and Self-Care.

Our Aim
I. To improve the livelihoods of people facing social and economic disadvantage by providing enabling opportunities that will empower them in order to meet their educational and employment needs and satisfy their health ambitions and aspirations.
II. To provide or assist in the provision of access to facilities, advice, information and guidance aimed at improving the social welfare of disadvantaged individuals. Through the Charity, people who do not have access to leisure and recreational facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances will be able to use such facilities with the object of improving their fitness, self-esteem and general well-being.
III. To promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes beneficial to excluded and disadvantaged communities in London and in other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees shall from time to time think fit.
IV. To establish and maintain links for collaboration with like-minded individuals and organisations.
