Self-Determination and Collective Success through Community Investment

More Program Details

Rhode Island has welcomed refugees from Afghanistan for many years, especially in the recent past as the Taliban retook power forcing many to flee. As women navigate these next steps of adopting a new language, establishing homes, caring for families, and joining the workforce, Beautiful Day offers space in which they can learn and practice new skills together. Afghan Women Catering grew out of a year's worth of collaborative effort and joy, providing memorable meals for customers in Providence.

Partners

As part of the Afghan Social Capital Network, we coordinate with other organizations and agencies in Providence to best identify and address the specific talents and needs of Afghan women who have resettled in the area. A committed group of volunteers from the local culinary industry, the Afghan community, and our Providence neighbors, help create an environment of cooperative, generative learning for us all. As the program develops it aims to connect Afghan women to additional entrepreneurial opportunities, mentorship, and the incredible ______ of RI.
