Refugee Women Connect X University of Liverpool

Refugee Women Connect is dedicated to supporting all women in the asylum seeker and refugee community. Ten students at the University of Liverpool have committed themselves to raising funds for the women-only charity by setting up a UoL Fundraising Team.
