Empowered Immigrant Women Unite!
ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Empowered Immigrant Women Unite (EIWU) is a community-driven organization committed to helping women move beyond poverty and achieve lasting self-reliance.
Based in Lewiston-Auburn, we offer programs that connect women to vital resources such as education, jobs, and healthcare. But we do more than provide services — we work to ensure that women’s voices are heard and that they are recognized as leaders and changemakers in their communities.
Through our programs, we help break down the barriers that hold women back. We support them in building skills for career advancement, improving their health and well-being, and strengthening their confidence to lead.
Our vision is for every woman to have the support, knowledge, and opportunities to create and manage her own platform for change, both for herself and for future generations.
At EIWU, we believe in the power of women to transform not only their own lives, but their families and communities. Together, we are creating a future where immigrant women are valued, empowered, and celebrated.
