Ahaana's Initiatives and Community Projects allow our donors to choose where they most feel an affinity for
Ahaana Festival
Our Annual Ahaana Festival is an eagerly anticipated event. Featuring Yoni ki Baat and MenOlogues (Intimate Narratives), a nationally recognized and growing collection of bold, powerful, and poignant stories of real-life experiences written and performed by South Asians. This is inspired by Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues.” The Pre-Show reception features local artists' food and art.
The SWANS Initiative – Survivors & Widows’ Acceptance Network and Support
This supports our work with women-at-risk and survivors of violence, locally (refugees and domestic violence) and globally (widows and acid attack victims). To foster acceptance and promote the human rights of living with dignity. To provide compassionate care for the elderly widows. Empathetic and non-judgemental resource center that aims to support, guide, and empower women, whether it's dealing with widowhood, parenting challenges, re-entry into the workplace, abuse, depression, death, or divorce.
