About Us
Re-Defined was started 2 yrs ago with the main goal of empowering newcomers and immigrants but technically it was over the last 1.5 yrs that we actually started doing the work we do today. Our goal is to equip newcomers with tools and resources that they can leverage to advocate for themselves and their capabilities because we know through our founders experience and through so many other immigrant stories that its the right network to start with that makes the most difference
Let's bring a change together
We've made a significant impact, reaching over 30,000 individuals across India, Pakistan, Canada, Uganda, and Ghana. This achievement stems from our extensive range of educational workshops, regular events, donation programs and impact initiatives which delve into various subjects, including skill development and important social issues.
