Afrique au Féminin serves women aged 18 and over, of all religions, statuses, and nationalities. All women are welcome, whatever their request. A place of peace, joy and friendship, the centre informs women of their right to be themselves and to express themselves safely. We also offer the opportunity for women to assert themselves, claiming their rights in all areas. Our staff is trained to provide individualized support, and to guide women to appropriate resources.

Afrique au Féminin provides social services to women, contributing to their personal and professional development in a safe environment. The centre offers active listening to women, giving them the opportunity to communicate in confidence. We help them express themselves and share their concerns and their needs. Or social worker also makes home visits to women in need, women who are sick and those who have given birth. These visits allow us to better understand the strengths, challenges, and daily reality of the women we serve. Moral support and material assistance are provided to promote well-being and break social isolation.

This francization and integration program is for newcomer women who have come to settle in Quebec. French classes are offered to improve participants’ understanding of the spoken language, phonetics, conjugation, expression and to foster an interest in integration in Quebec. Customized classes are available at the beginner and intermediate level.

Our drop-in daycare is available to families with young children and is open between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm.
