At Arise Women Support Association (AWSA), we are a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering South Sudanese-Australian and other women from multicultural communities through comprehensive programs focused on social wellbeing, education, digital literacy, and health and wellness.

We are committed to delivering culturally sensitive and relevant information that resonates with the needs of those we serve. As part of our educational initiatives, we offer comprehensive resources on crucial topics, including the legal system and navigating the Australian system, which we believe is vital for empowerment.

At AWSA, we understand that knowledge is power. Our goal is to equip women with the tools and confidence they need to navigate these systems effectively. Additionally, we offer a range of valuable activities designed to foster a sense of belonging and mutual support, which we consider are essential for personal growth and social well-being. Our programs are designed to create a supportive environment where women can thrive.
