OUR STORY
|
Asian Women for Health (AWFH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing Asian women’s health and well-being through community engagement, education, and representation. We envision a world where Asian Women and underrepresented community members are well-informed, have access to care that is culturally appropriate and high quality, and inspired to live happy, healthy lives.
We are a diverse group of individuals working together across differences in age, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, socio-economic and educational levels, to address individual, community-wide and systemic barriers that affect Asian women and their loved ones. Hear our stories and support our journeys to healthier lives. |
