Waikato Refugee Forum

🌸 Empower to Lead – Session 1 🌸

Our Empower to Lead journey has officially begun! 💜

The first session was filled with meaningful conversations, shared experiences, laughter, learning, and new connections. Women from diverse refugee and migrant backgrounds came together in a safe and supportive space to explore self-awareness, reflect on their personal strengths, and build confidence for their leadership journey.

It was inspiring to see participants engaging in discussions, supporting one another, and forming connections that will continue beyond the workshop. Every story shared and every voice heard contributed to a powerful atmosphere of empowerment and belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and made this first session such a success. We are excited to continue this journey together through the upcoming sessions.

We are proud to celebrate one of our staff members, Credu Gapson, who has successfully graduated with a Master of Information Technology from the University of Waikato 🎓
This achievement reflects dedication, perseverance, and a passion for growth. Congratulations!
