This International Women’s Day we’re celebrating the re-funding of our Digital Sisters program, supporting refugee and migrant women to feel confident and safe online.
Managed by Good Things Australia and funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Social Services, the Digital Sisters program has already made a big impact. With the support of 55 community organisations around the country, more than 2,000 refugee and migrant women have been learning essential digital skills, empowering them as they settle in Australia.
And the outcomes speak for themselves, with:
The extended program will enable our 55 community partners to continue training more digital mentors and directly support another 2,200 women across the country. Each participating organisation will receive a $10,500 grant (plus GST if applicable) to help with program planning and hiring bilingual digital mentors.
Keep in the loop with news, grant announcements, events and updates in our Good Things newsletter and learn how to get involved in closing the digital divide.
