Community Women Against Hardship

A 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving low- to moderate-income families that reside in the City of St. Louis. Community Women Against Hardship's (CWAH) educational and developmental programs are designed to build better parent and youth relationships, improve health and nutritional outlooks, and enhance academic achievement and/or employability.

Our Mission is to provide personalized and evidence-based programs and services to enable families struggling with poverty to become more self-sufficient.

We believe in helping families become self-sufficient and creating opportunities for improving their lives. Through our Parent Opportunity and Student Enrichment Programs, CWAH offers education and developmental classes, workshops, and fun events for parents and children.  

Grants and contributions provide support for the programs we offer members of our community and help create a "safe space" where they are equipped with tools that help them thrive in today's ever-changing society.
