Refugee Women's Network aims to equip refugee and immigrant women to regain self-sufficiency, inspiring them to become community leaders through culturally tailored programs.
Refugee Women’s Network (RWN) is a 501c3 organization serving families resettled in the state of Georgia. For more than 20 years, we’ve continued to be the only organization in Georgia that specifically serves refugee women.
RWN’s spectrum of services meets women where they are; whether they’ve been in the US for three months or thirty years. Whether they need help enrolling their children in school or they’re preparing to open their own business, we help women on their journey to become independent and self-sufficient.
