Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

MISSION Through work and entrepreneurship, our mission is to support women who are refugees, asylum seekers or migrants to improve their confidence, mental wellbeing, sense of belonging and economic outlook. VISION Our vision is an Australia where all migrant women are given the opportunities to become economically empowered. ABOUT SISTERWORKS At SisterWorks we believe Work Empowers Women. Over the past 10 years, we supported over 2,000 migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker women from 105 countries to build a better life in Australia through skills training and work opportunities. We are a certified social enterprise focusing on partnerships with industries to generate social and economic values for migrant, refugee and asylum seeker women in Australia. INTERSECTIONALITY AND SISTERWORKS' EXPERIENCE Migrant, refugee and asylum seeking women represent some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in Victoria. Many women within this community tend to suffer from low-levels of English, limited work experience, low confidence, isolation and domestic violence. These issues affect their overall economic and social participation within the broader community and thus, there is a need to address both the confidence and financial wellbeing of these disadvantaged women. BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN SisterWorks is a female-led and diverse workforce. All staff members identify as female including all senior staff. In addition, 76% of our staff and 60% volunteers have lived experience as a refugee or migrant woman. SisterWorks is a grass-roots organisation, our programs are developed, run and received by CALD women. Through an intersectional, person-centred and holistic focus, we understand the support needed by our target cohort and the diversity in their individual needs. To further this, our focus groups centering on the woman's long-term and immediate goals ensures the adaptability, sustainability and suitability of programs.
