Empowering Women. Strengthening Communities.

Saka International began in 2015 through community-led initiatives, funded entirely by personal contributions and donations. In 2021, we were formally established as a Community Interest Company (CIC) to strengthen our governance and transparency, and to extend the reach and sustainability of our work.

We exist to support women from asylum-seeking, migrant, and other vulnerable or minority backgrounds. Everything we do is delivered through trusted community and faith-based partnerships, ensuring our services are inclusive, culturally sensitive, and accessible to those who might otherwise face significant barriers to mainstream support.

WHAT WE DO

Our areas of work

Health and wellbeing

We deliver diabetes awareness and health education programmes, Basic Life Support (BLS) training, and community health outreach focused on prevention and early intervention. Sessions are delivered with interpreters and cultural support where needed.

Mental health support

We offer counselling for survivors of violence and trauma, facilitated group wellbeing sessions, and supported access to professional practitioners, with a particular focus on women who have experienced displacement or adversity.

Women’s empowerment

We provide practical and emotional support to women from migrant and vulnerable backgrounds, including skills development, enterprise support, and safe peer support spaces to build confidence, independence, and long-term resilience.

Education and community

We provide books and learning materials to individuals in need, have contributed to school facilities, and deliver community talks, workshops, and regular coffee mornings to strengthen social connection and reduce isolation.

Humanitarian support

We donate medical equipment, provide food and essential supplies, and support vulnerable communities both locally and internationally.

HOW WE WORK

Community-led, trust-driven

We work in close partnership with local faith groups and community organisations. This model enables us to reach individuals who may be reluctant or unable to access statutory or mainstream services, and ensures that our work is grounded in trust, cultural understanding, and lived experience.

We are a volunteer-led organisation, supported by specialist trainers, interpreters, ESOL teachers, and qualified professional practitioners. By drawing on genuine community commitment, we maximise the benefit delivered for every pound invested in our work.

Our board of directors are from a variety of professional backgrounds. They are dedicated to the mission of creating immediate and lasting change in the lives of women.
