Who Are We?

WE ARE WHEW NOW!

One Step at a Time!

There are few, if any, programs in the Sunnyside and Third Ward areas in Harris County that address these converging issues. WHEW’s target objectives are to service these women and to support them in not returning to prison, abusive relationships, and homelessness. WHEW seeks to address key problems such as employment, job skills and training, and other essential needs for this disenfranchised clientele. Moreover, WHEW seeks to meet the needs of clients who appear to be undesired by other institutions. In addition, WHEW empowers women globally by creating employment and projects that are beneficial to their communities of origin.
