At the last King Neighborhood Association meeting, members of the African Women’s Coalition talked about the mission of their organization and how you can help.
The African Women’s Coalition provides support services to African immigrants and refugees. African women are especially vulnerable and at risk. Many are single mothers who have several children, have lost their husbands, sons, brothers and fathers to the ravages of war, and must assume positions that were held by men in their traditional cultures.
