Crowd for Causes: Asylee Women Enterprise
Building a New Digital Home for Asylee Women Enterprise
At Crowd For Causes, we take pride in working with organizations that make a real difference in their communities. One such nonprofit we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with is Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE), a Baltimore-based organization dedicated to helping asylum seekers and forced migrants rebuild their lives in the United States.
A History of Compassion and Support
AWE was founded in 2011 when Catholic Sisters from eight Catholic communities and AWE founder, Molly Corbett, came together to provide housing and community to women seeking asylum in Baltimore. While AWE maintains close relationships with these founding communities, it is a secular organization that welcomes forced migrants of all genders.
Over the past decade, AWE has provided critical support to thousands of vulnerable immigrants from around the world, distributing over four million dollars in financial and material assistance. Their work continues to be a lifeline for many who arrive in the U.S. with little to no resources.
How AWE Helps the Community
AWE provides a range of services designed to meet the immediate and long-term needs of asylum seekers and forced migrants:
- Safe Housing – Providing temporary shelter and assistance in securing stable living conditions.
- Education & Language Support – Offering English classes, job training, and life skills programs to empower individuals.
- Employment Assistance – Helping participants secure stable jobs through workforce development initiatives.
- Community Integration – Creating a welcoming environment where asylum seekers can connect, heal, and grow.
- Legal & Health Resources – Connecting individuals to legal aid and healthcare providers to support their well-being.
- Financial and Material Assistance – Distributing essential funds, food, and supplies to help individuals get back on their feet.
Leadership Team
AWE’s impact is made possible by a dedicated team of leaders who are committed to advocating for and supporting forced migrants:
Board of Directors:
- Rose Kurtz – Board President
- Sr. Sharon Wall – Secretary
- Rebecca Oldham – Vice President
- John Wisniewski – Treasurer
A Website that Reflects Their Impact
AWE’s website (www.asyleewomen.org) serves as a crucial tool for raising awareness, attracting volunteers, and securing donations. Some key features include:
- Easy-to-Navigate Donation Page – Encouraging supporters to contribute financially to their cause.
- Volunteer & Partnership Information – Offering clear pathways for individuals and organizations to get involved.
- Success Stories – Showcasing the real-life impact of their work through testimonials and narratives.
