WOMEN AND DIGITAL INCLUSION (WODIN)
Women and Digital Inclusion (WODIN) established in 2020 as a CIC now a charity, we predominantly but not exclusively promote the welfare of Black migrant women in Merseyside. We work with migrant women and families, many first-generation immigrants, facing poverty, destitution, poor mental and physical health. We provide a space for them to be brave, vulnerable and learn digital skills.
