Every year, hundreds of refugee women, many with children, seek asylum in our communities, escaping hardship, hoping to rebuild their lives. On average, it takes over 2 years for an asylum seeker’s claim to be assessed - two years of limbo, relying on a strained support system to survive. Women and children, having already endured exceptionally challenging circumstances, find themselves once again helpless - this time on the streets of Canadian cities.

This is why we show up everyday, you can too.

 

Your Impact

Donor support will provide the following housing support options for a refugee woman, and her children. 

Women and children are especially vulnerable, facing increased risks of exploitation, abuse, and poverty without safe housing. Without intervention, refugee women and children will continue to experience unsafe, overcrowded, or temporary accommodations, further delaying their integration into Canadian society.

With limited shelter space and skyrocketing rental prices, refugee women and their families need urgent housing assistance. By donating to our campaign, your support will provide safe housing solutions and essential resources to help them find stable long-term housing.

Our Goals

Donate today to help refugee women and their families find safety, hope, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives in Toronto. Together, we can foster a community that values dignity, respect, and opportunity for everyone. This giving season, let’s give refugee families a renewed sense of hope.

We Accept Donations of Any Kind!

NEW focuses on the immediate needs of immigrant women by directing them to settlement resources and providing them with language instruction, pathways and coaching towards employment opportunities as well as programs that help them overcome the systems and structures that impede their success. However, financial donations alone aren’t enough to sustain our mission. We rely on the generosity of our community to provide the diverse range of items that our clients need.

Every contribution makes a significant difference and propels us closer to becoming the one-stop-shop for newcomers and their families. At NEW, we gratefully accept donations of food, clothing, technology, household items, and more. Your in-kind donations help us offer comprehensive support to those who need it most.
