The Coming Home Project
The Coming Home Project is a transformative initiative aimed at empowering women leaving prison to reintegrate into society successfully. Founded by a former inmate with lived experience, the project addresses barriers such as unemployment, unstable housing, and unresolved trauma, which contribute to high reoffending rates among women. Through trauma-informed workshops, peer mentorship, and practical support, the project equips participants with essential skills, stable housing, and employment opportunities, fostering community cohesion and reducing reoffending.
What will the Kao SEED Fund support?
The funding will be used to purchase refurbished digital devices and support the delivery of a 4-day workshop for 12 women. The funding will cover costs such as venue hire, workshop materials, facilitator fees, refreshments, and participant travel expenses. These resources will enable interactive digital literacy sessions, helping women develop essential skills for employment and modern life.
