and individuals interested

Our recent achievements include delivering culturally sensitive services
such as seminars, conferences, group counseling and speakers' series on
major topics on Health, Education & Empowerment.
We also hold group counseling, support sessions and meetings on these
topics and when necessary give referrals. Our Health programs focus mainly
on education, screening and prevention of Breast Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis,
and Nutrition.
We liaise with existing National Local & state women support groups
to provide culturally sensitive information and social, economic and health
support for its members and participants.
