Project Information

At CoLab Women, we seek to empower women to overcome financially stressful events. The funding that we have received as an agency partner of the Smallwood Trust strives to relieve poverty and we center on uplifting women to achieve stability and security in personal finances, housing, employment, and heath and wellbeing.

We provide small grants in order to support women through hardships, for example unemployment, relationship breakdown, or mental or physical health problems.
