The women’s empowerment
project was set up to psychologically and economically uplift refugee
women through creative therapy. In collaboration with designers, the
women crochet beautiful and stylish products which are eco-friendly and
handmade. The project is in the beginning stages and we need several
business development orientated volunteers to help kick start the

day to day running, managing volunteers and helping to develop and
expand the project.
