Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA) is a multi-ethnic, community-based organization that provides comprehensive services to refugee and immigrant women and families in the Puget Sound area. ReWA, formerly known as Southeast Asian Women’s Alliance, was founded in 1985 by a group of successfully resettled women who sought to provide newly-arrived women with services not offered by other agencies.
ReWA has grown from a small, informal alliance of concerned refugee women to one of the largest private nonprofit refugee and immigrant service providers in the Puget Sound area. ReWA’s comprehensive services were developed to respond to the complex needs of refugee and immigrant women and families and have the ultimate goal of making a long-lasting impact on their lives. ReWA’s programs have received national recognition and, in 1999, ReWA was the first organization to receive the Distinguished Citizen Award for Human Rights.
ReWA currently operates ten office locations.
