Community Partnership Initiative

Survey for CIANA

June 17, 2010
CIANA is in the process of designing an economic empowerment project for South Asian women residing in NYC. I have attached a flyer that briefly introduces the program. Currently, we are completing the needs assessment phase and encouraging the target population to complete a survey that will help us gauge their interest level for such a project and help us tailor a program appropriate for the community. I would really appreciate it if the network can spread the word about this survey amongst their qualifying clients and have any interested individuals contact me in order to learn more about the project and how they can complete the survey. I am generally available Monday, Tuesday and Friday during business hours.

Participant Criteria:South Asian woman Native language: Urdu/Hindi Newcomer or Limited amount of work experience Currently not enrolled in any formal educational institution

P.S. The cutoff date for the survey will be mid June 2010.

Thank you,
