Yesterday at SARATI, we held an in-house session on winter blues ❄️💙 — sharing how the cold days affect us and the ways we cope. 💬
It was a warm, supportive space to connect, remind each other we’re not alone 💚 — and we also celebrated one of our sisters' birthday 🎉💜

At SARATI, we had a Money Matters session led by Barbara. It was a valuable space to share experiences,ask questions, and learn practical ways to manage finances. From budgeting tips to planning for the future and also being aware of scammers,we left feeling empowered and more confident about money!

Our team joined part one of the Facilitation Skills for People’s Assemblies training with Mussa from the Humanity Project. 💚

This listening-focused session is helping us strengthen our facilitation skills as we continue supporting and empowering our community. ✨

Today’s session with Fummi was all about fly-tipping! We explored how it harms our community and the environment 🌍, and learned that it can even lead to heavy fines 💷 or jail time 🚔. Let’s all do our part to keep our spaces clean and safe! ✨ #SAWN #CommunityCare #keepitcleanandgreen

We wrapped up an amazing SARATI session on FRIENDSHIP! 🤝💬

💡 What makes a good friend? Trust & showing up.
🙅‍♀️ The game-changer: learning to say NO without guilt.

Boundaries don’t break friendships — they make them stronger. 💪💖
