WEG creates brave space for Congolese and other refugee women to find mutual community with American women, build a support network, and grow in confidence while navigating life in Houston. Our collaborative initiatives include adult English classes, emergency assistance, women’s and pediatric healthcare support, and the Youth Empowerment Group.

Throughout the school year, we meet weekly on Thursday mornings, 10 am–noon, at St. Luke’s UMC Gethsemane (6856 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 77074) to share resources and check on each other. A Zoom option is available; to get the link, email Francine at francine@famhoustontx.org.
