  • Women's Empowerment and Community Building

    FAM's Women's Empowerment Group (WEG) creates brave space for Congolese and other refugee women to find mutual community with American women, build a support network, and grow in confidence while navigating life in Houston. Our collaborative initiatives include adult English classes, emergency assistance, women's and pediatric healthcare support, and the Youth Empowerment Group. In addition, Pamoja ("together" in Swahili) builds empowered community by pairing newcomer and Houstonian families to form relationships, engage in mutual learning, and walk alongside one another through all of life's ups and downs.

  • Urban Community Garden Initiative

    FAM operates a community garden called Shamba Ya Amani which means Farm of Peace in Swahili. Shamba is an urban garden run by participants who are resettled refugees, immigrants, and local Houstonians. In this agricultural endeavor, FAM assists newcomers to the USA to grow some of the food they need to feed their families and some crops for sale at local markets. Shamba serves as a model for human connection and a pathway for multicultural understanding.
