Our Story
We are a women-led charity, formed in Cardiff, South Wales, to support and empower the less advantaged people in our communities in Wales and Sub-Saharan African countries.
Hayaat Women Trust supports and offers a range of different services to help disadvantaged families in the community out of poverty. In particular, Black and ethnic minority communities who find it difficult to access mainstream services. We also offer “Advocacy without Barriers” in which we assist families with issues relating to health, social care, housing and educational issues.
