Our Work!

Empowering Through Action
The Somali Women Empowerment Society (SWES) is proud to support programs that strengthen families, promote self-sufficiency, and nurture community growth. Our work is rooted in empowering women with the tools, skills, and opportunities they need to thrive.

COMMUNITY FARM INITIATIVE

COMMUNITY FARM INITIATIVE

Our community farm is more than just a source of fresh, healthy food — it’s a space for learning, connection, and empowerment. Somali women and families come together to grow culturally familiar crops, share agricultural skills, and strengthen food security for our community.

This project promotes sustainability, environmental awareness, and community pride while helping newcomers build confidence and connection to the land.
