Open Arms, a unique small business that employs newly arrived refugees, is launching a campaign to grow their business and create jobs for even more refugee women!

We know Open Arms because they share space with the iACT for Refugees School at Central Presbyterian Church. Open Arms is more than just a company that manufactures great products, it is a movement to improve the lives of refugee women living in America. Their approach is less about cutting a check and moving on to the next social concern and more about creating a sustainable social enterprise that recognizes the dignity of these women who have endured so much. In short, they help them earn their piece of the American dream.

This is an important service and opportunity to refugees arriving to Austin trying to obtain meaningful employment and training. To find out more about Open Arms, please visit their website and check out their video on YouTube.
