ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

In 2020, a handful of women who had been reaching out to their newly arrived Afghan neighbors felt it was time to get organized. Undaunted Women was founded, a Seattle-area 501(c)(3) organization, with a vision to support refugee women and families. We are 100% volunteer-run, and believe in supporting our refugee sisters with low-barrier access to basic donations, English language support, and friendship.

OUR MISSION

We support individuals in overcoming social and economic barriers to self-reliance through connections, advocacy, and inspiration.
