Laamiga empowers women by equipping them with the right skills and knowledge to realise their full potential. As part of our continuous support to women from black, minority ethnic, migrant, or refugee backgrounds, we introduced the Athena Project, which helped women improve their confidence with personal finance and gain financial independence.

Between March and December of 2022, groups of women attended online workshops once a month for six months. These workshops were delivered by experts, covering topics such as introduction to the UK financial system, budgeting & savings, credit & debit, financial fraud, how to save energy costs, etc.

Participants also had access to support groups to connect them with other women and online support from a trained female mentor.

If you would like to have further information about the success of Athena, please contact Dr. Emua Ali (Laamiga’s Coordinator) at info@laamiga.org or call us on  0208 257 7317.
