Donating to REACT DC's REACTwomen Program empowers and supports women from underserved communities by providing them with resources, mentorship, and opportunities in tech and entrepreneurship. By investing in this program, donors contribute to breaking down barriers to entry in these fields, fostering diversity and inclusion, and ultimately creating pathways to economic independence and leadership for women who might otherwise face systemic obstacles. Through REACTwomen, donors can directly impact the lives of individuals, strengthen communities, and contribute to a more equitable society.
Pathways to Independence and Opportunity for Refugee Women
Launched in September 2022 with partner organizations, REACTwomen addresses the urgent need for gender-specific programs for Afghan and other newcomer women who often arrive with limited English proficiency, few support networks, and restricted access to education and mentorship. The Women’s Empowerment Program provides ESL, digital literacy, and sewing skills classes to build practical skills, while separate mentorship, empowerment workshops, and rights education foster leadership, confidence, resilience, and agency. Monthly distributions of diapers and essential goods further support families, build community connections, and enable women to pursue employment, entrepreneurship, and lasting personal and professional growth.
