Projects

At Khawat, our projects and events are at the heart of our mission to uplift and empower young women from diverse migrant and refugee backgrounds across Aotearoa. From fashion shows that celebrate cultural expression to community gatherings that foster connection and support, every initiative we create is designed to bring people together as a whānau. These events provide safe, inclusive spaces where voices are heard, stories are shared, and a strong sense of belonging is built.
