YWCA - Financial Literacy for Newcomers (FLNP)

We know that Newcomers to Canada face a lot of challenges getting useful financial, educational and other advice during the settlement process. These challenges include language differences, cultural differences and settlement barriers. These challenges make poverty a growing reality for many newcomer families.

The cycle-nature of poverty can make it even harder to access opportunities to build financial literacy. But people struggling with poverty have the most to gain from programs that can help them move towards financial stability. We know that newcomer women require more training to get successful jobs, and need a safe space and combined services. Currently, there are no services specifically for newcomer women in Halifax.

We are lifting language barriers, and providing financial literacy and education to ensure a better understanding of Canadas financial system, and start a better life.
