UAWO started as a gathering of women in one member's home in Detroit: women from Africa, the U.S. and the Caribbean who saw the need to come together. Since 2001 we've been a support network, a home for our culture, and a hand up for women and children reaching their educational and professional goals. Here you'll find scholarships for our girls, sewing classes, a community garden, and a celebration every June for the fathers who hold our families together.
For women, for girls, for families, and for the whole community. However you want to take part, there's a place for you.
