Refugee Women in Action

Refugee Women in Action (RWIA)* is a non-profit organization assisting refugee women and their families from Central African and Southeast Asian countries who have resettled in Columbus, Ohio. Our goals are to support individuals and families and to establish sustainable programs that will support, facilitate and teach life skills so that refugees may establish social and economic independence in their new lives.
