THE CIRCLE

A WOMAN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME

Starting in Feb 2022

Migrant and refugee women are a priority group for several developmental and social-cohesion initiatives within the governmental agencies. Integrating this demographic into the wider community of New Zealand works not only to create social harmony within the NZ society but also to empower these women to create a better future for themselves.

This programme is designed to facilitate the transition of women into their new home land of New Zealand and to enable them to focus persuing their personal dreams and aspirations in the process. 

The programme is designed by experts from the community as a response to the needs of the target audience and as such, it is as authentic as it is credible and practical.
