Bridging The Digital Gap for BME Women in UK
Promotes the welfare of the BME - African women in Liverpool & Merseyside UK. We help them realize their full potential by engaging them in productive activities, providing opportunities and events to make them independent and self-sustaining.
We Bridge the Digital Skills Gap between African Women in Liverpool and the rest of the population. We are here to give BME women and their families tools through digital skills training to be sustainable and make long-term improvements in their financial and general well-being.
Below is a break down of some of what we do at Women & Digital Inclusion - WODIN. We help the black African woman realise her full potential through digital inclusion, Skills training, signposting, professional and personal development. We provide advice and information to BME Women & communities who would otherwise feel excluded due to social or economic barriers.
For Continuous Professional Development where African women can go to digitally to find structured Information that helps them learn how to set up their business online. This will help reduce financial exclusion and create a life-sustaining income. Becoming more empowered in their financial decisions, social cohesion & wellbeing.
Drawing on our lived experiences of hardship. More so In the wake of Covid-19 and the current climate, we specifically provide information, advice, training, and support to BME Women in Liverpool pushed in crisis as a result of the pandemic and their families. Our support helps them get connected as well as become more productive in their communities.
While other organizations exist that offer welfare support, Most do so inside the 9-5 working hours window, which leaves the women without child care. So they don't show up for the help they need. Our support helps women realize their full potential by engaging them in productive activities, providing opportunities and events to make them independent and self-sustaining out of hours and virtually, so they don't worry about child care.
We provide support, welfare checks, and basic advice for African immigrant women and their families in Liverpool on issues regarding their finances especially; living within their means/budget, debt management, work and welfare, and signposting to FCA registered money advisors. The work we do with BME women is focused in Liverpool, and driven through the WeNation space we created as a result of an early research project we carried out in 2017-18.
Our Volunteers and team are happy to talk about your needs and craft a plan to help you stay connected and confident in the digital space.

Dear WODIN,
On behalf of my mother Clara Ohamara, I wish to express her sincere gratitude for the cash donation of £900 that my mother received from Turn2Us/SAWN through you. The process was efficiently facilitated by Sylvia who we cannot thank enough! Best regards

Thank you very much WODIN for all the support, received support from you today but l couldn’t thank you enough coz it came at the right time l needed it. Stay blessed.
Wodin is God-sent!! In addition to the culturally tailored food packages delivered to our family during the hardest financial times especially for many unprivileged families, we as a family have also benefited from financial assistance at a most needed time. The last 2 years have been very difficult for us in every single manner but knowing that there are groups like Wodin to throw in a Ray of sunshine amidst a storm is more than wonderful. Thank you and Long live Wodin 🙏🙏🙏
