Women for Refugees

Mobilizing Refugee Women in becoming leaders within their Refugee Communities. We believe in re-shaping the refugee narrative through empowering programs and dignified stories.

Women for Refugees (WFR) is committed to solving the refugee crisis through pursuing the economic narrative, crowdfunding, education and civic engagement.

Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)

We aim to empower and upskill refugee women in becoming community leaders through educational classes, humanitarian aid, medical support and financial building programs for low income communities. We believe in bridging the gap between marginalized refugee communities and local Malaysians in an effort to champion civic engagement, human rights and economic freedom for all.
