Crisis Support Scheme
Neema Women Community has decided to implement a Crisis Support Scheme (CSS) to support families and women from vulnerable backgrounds at crisis points and experiencing hardship and poverty.

We can also provide foodbank vouchers for you to collect food parcels at other food banks if necessary. When available we also supply toiletries and hygiene products upon request.
