about

Our Mission & Vision

Our vision is a society that honours the strengths of diverse women and empowers their contributions.

Our mission is to deliver accessible, inclusive, low-barrier programs for immigrant and refugee women and their children that create a sense of belonging, meaningful participation and leadership.

What We Do 

PIRS has over 48 years of experience working with immigrant and refugee women in the Greater Vancouver area, and a strong track record of delivering high-impact programs. We support a diverse population of women and children, including single immigrant and refugee mothers, women fleeing violence, women with disabilities, and women with mental and/or physical health conditions. 

Our Programs 

Our programs and services are low-barrier, accessible, and trauma-informed  without fees to best support immigrant and refugee women and their children. Across all programs, PIRS utilizes a decentralized and collaborative delivery model, allowing us to be flexible and responsive to emergent and diverse needs of the women and children we serve. Currently, our programs include:  

Special Appeal

  • Winter Warmth, our ambitious goal is to raise $55,000, crucial funds that will enable us to continue providing trauma-informed English classes
  • Afghan Women Fund, to increase the capacity of our outreach support team and to set up relief kits, including access to food, clothing, and other basic needs
  • Ukraine Women Fund, to help those who have been displaced by the invasion of Ukraine
