MIAG would like to celebrate the completion of the Women’s Empowerment Network Program on March 31^st, 2022, and its goal of providing educational and skill building sessions to Mississauga's resident women.  By financially supporting this program the Community Foundation of Mississauga helped women across Mississauga to enhance their learning of different essential life skills, how to be involved - especially during the pandemic and times of isolation, and how to expand their support network.

Thank you, Community Foundation of Mississauga, and Pendle Fund; MIAG appreciates your support.

The Women’s Empowerment Network program ran for 35 sessions on Fridays via Zoom from 10 am to 12 pm. The program was composed of two components, which supported physical movement and provided education to participants on a wide range of topics, some of which included:

Everything Technology

Employment and Skill-building

Self Empowerment

Creativity & Self Expression

Financial Literacy for Women

Women’s Health and Nutrition

Personal Safety

The Art of Storytelling

Health, Wellness & Clean Beauty

The Women’s Empowerment Network program welcomed professionals from various organizations and industries to facilitate sessions using their expertise on specific capacity and skill building topics. Through this program also a Facebook Group was created to encouraged participants to share their accomplishments and to remain in contact.

“MIAG is a place for me of learning, teaching and acceptance. The staff are respectful. I have already learnt a great deal from the Women Empowerment Network sessions. After only two classes l am getting confident and acquiring knowledge on Zoom. Another confidence booster was the personality colour test, it makes one accept who we are with pride. I recommend this program to others. These classes are essential for everyone. It gets us together; its a learning experience and we also get to meet new people. The facilitator is patient, respectful and always follows up with any questions. Thank you so much.” Participant Ann G.
