BREATH OF HOPE
Our experience is that emotional support is an essential part of successful integration.
Breath of Hope is focused on the personal growth and empowerment of women by providing opportunities to reflect on their lives in a safe environment, learning opportunities, interaction and coexistence with the local community.
We believe that the more integrated and empowered the woman is, the more she will positively influence the integration of her family, especially her children. In this project, we deal with highly personal and subjective issues that require individualized attention.
Supported by the City of Amsterdam since 2020, Breath of Hope provides activities, space and opportunities for refugee women to reach the level of self-awareness, assertiveness, autonomy and resilience that will allow them to take back control of their own lives. Through compassion and empathy, we aim to promote community engagement where newcomers themselves play the leading role in their integration pave the way for harmonious togetherness and contribute to the well-being of all.
