Empowering African Immigrant and Refugee Families
Empowering African families throughout Massachusetts to fulfill their essential needs and cultivate stable, self-reliant futures.
A Trusted Community Based Nonprofit
Awane of Boston supports African immigrants, refugees, and asylees across Massachusetts, starting in Lowell. We help individuals and families access essential services, meet basic needs, and build stable, self sufficient lives with dignity.
Founded to respond to the growing needs of African families facing economic hardship, Awane of Boston serves as both a safety net and a pathway to empowerment. We support individuals and families as they address basic living needs, access essential services, and work toward greater stability and self sufficiency.
Our approach is rooted in dignity, equity, community, and empowerment. We believe strong support begins with trusted relationships and respect for each person’s circumstances, language, and needs.
From Crisis Toward Independence
We serve African individuals and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, helping them move from crisis toward stability and greater independence through compassionate, culturally responsive support.
Together, we are building stronger, healthier communities.
