Moline, IL-The AKWAABA QC, an IRS 501(c) Tax Exempt nonprofit Community Organization is pleased to announce that it was recently awarded $20,000 of grant funding by The Hubbell-Waterman Foundation to support its Community Navigators Program and enable it to continue to serve the immigrant communities in the Quad Cities.
The AKWAABA QC’s mission is to welcome immigrants, refugees, migrants and asylum seekers in the Quad Cities by providing them with necessary training and information that will help them integrate into the Quad City community and lead them to their full potential. This is done through advocacy, collaboration and connection with community partners to ensure their successful integration into the community.
The AKWAABA QC is pleased to receive this grant award and put it towards its Community Navigators Program to create a meaningful impact on the immigrants, refugees, Asylum seekers and Low English Proficiency (LEP) communities it serves, said Nana Ouro-Agoro, President/ CEO of AKWAABA QC.
This funding is going to allow us to reach the growing number of immigrants, refugees and Asylum seekers communities in the Quad Cities through our unique Community Navigators model with the ultimately goal to bridge the gap between the immigrant community and the resources available to them.
This project aims to support our Community Navigators Unique Model through the Community Navigators activities, the Community Presentation on Know Your Right, the Accompaniment of our immigrant communities and their referrals to various agencies and organizations.
At AKWAABA QC, we are seeing firsthand the urgent need to accompany our immigrants,refugees, Asylum seekers and Low English Proficiency to appropriate resources such as DHS, DCFS, WIC, Court, Jury Duty, Healthcare Center, Hospitals, job interviews, school enrollment, Bank, groceries stores, etc…
