Park Slope Parents is teaming up with DWA FANM (WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN HAITIAN CREOLE) TO MAKE THE HOLIDAYS HAPPIER:

From Jennifer at DWA FANM:

Every holiday season, we hold a Holiday party for our clients and their children. We currently serve over 250 women in the community and their children.  Hence, we are seeking donations such as:

•    GOODIE BAGS FOR WOMEN: 
     Beauty products (nail polish, mascara, etc.), perfume, toiletries (soaps, shampoo, conditioner, etc.), jewelry, etc. for our client survivors of domestic violence.

•    TOYS FOR CHILDREN:
     Toys for the children in our program. Their ages range from
newborn-17, boys and girls.  Gently used or new toys or books would
be greatly appreciated.

We would be happy to pick up any donations we may receive. Please
contact Jennifer @ 718.230.4027 x 313.

Dwa Fanm is a human rights organization committed to empowering all women and girls with
the freedom to define and control their own lives. Through service, education, advocacy and grassroots programs, Dwa Fanm works to end discrimination, violence, and other forms of injustice here and abroad. Since its formation in 1999, Dwa Fanm has developed its
programming in direct response to the needs of women and girls in New York City’s Haitian, Caribbean and other Black immigrant communities.

While Dwa Fanm is best known for its work on domestic violence, we understand the connections between various forms of hate and discrimination and the necessity to address these problems comprehensively and with leadership from within our communities. We
remain committed to addressing a broad array of issues of critical concern to the populations we serve through a model that integrates service, advocacy and empowerment, and we continually seek to develop more effective ways to synthesize these inter-connected
goals.
