Every organization’s name tells a story. Ours reaches back more than nine centuries.

The Legacy of Queen Arwa

We chose our name in honor of Queen Arwa bint Ahmad, a remarkable Yemeni queen who led with wisdom and strength more than 900 years ago. Known for advancing education and community development, her legacy reflects the very values we uphold today. At ARWA, we don’t just provide services; we carry forward a 900-year-old tradition of leadership and compassion.

Four Pillars

ARWA also stands for the four pillars that guide everything we do: Awareness, Resilience, Wellness, and Advocacy.

Empowering individuals and families through education, leadership, and advocacy — that is our mission, and our name is our promise. Together We Rise.
