Mission Statement
To empower newcomer women to become healthy and contributing members of the Canadian society, by understanding and focusing on their unique needs. Through our programs and services to the community, CMWI aims to foster sound emotional health, stability and personal development to achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence in order to assist the newcomers to Canada in their settlement period.
About This Cause
CMWI was founded in 2006 to meet the needs of newcomer women especially coming from Muslim countries. It has grown drastically in capacity, services and clients we serve. We are an agency supported by United Way of Winnipeg. At the head office we run a drop in Family Resource center which offers different programs for new comers like literacy programs, English language classes, interpretation and translation services, Money management classes, free tax preparation clinics, fitness and wellness classes, support groups, and employment services. We also run a full time donation center for food and clothing for families. The center offers free computer, printing, and phone services too. CMWI services are unique from other organizations because of the diverse staff and management. Most of all our staff, management and governing board are all immigrant and refugee women. We believe in empowering women because it ultimately leads to empowering their families and the whole community.
