WHO WE ARE!
We are migrants and refugees who faced the hardships of being in an unfamiliar culture and language.
We are a collective of Arabic Speakers who are diverse in experience, skills, backgrounds, and cultures
MISSION
Working towards an intercultural Collective Identity through building bridges between migrants and locals, promoting active citizenship, initiative, and community, and address barriers to effective integration and inclusion.
VALUES
GENDER EQUALITY
Because women are key to peace and community. We cannot truly integrate until we are free from the shackles of patriarchy. And equality in any context has to start with Gender Equality!
COMMUNITY
Because we have to come together and support each other through the journey
INTERCULTURALITY
The acceptance of cultural differences is important for both integration and inclusion
RESILIENCE
Resilience is a survival skill that we all need as migrants in our new life.
TOLERANCE
Tolerance is the acceptance of one another and connecting as human beings.
VISION
Kudwa means Role-model
Our vision is to create role-models who will inspire themselves and others to be active and contributing members of their new diverse communities.
