2021-2022 Annual Report

I am happy to write you on the occasion of our first annual report. Having incorporated in late May 2021 with a fiscal year running from July 1 to June 30th, the Rain Collective has just completed its first year in existence as an organization. That said, our roots run much deeper as the initial steering committee first began working together, before Covid changed the way we work, during the summer of 2019. Each member of that steering committee brought decades of experience to the table we shared and were committed to making a measurable impact in the Middle East and North Africa. Even during those early days, we worked on coordinating repatriations and supporting the work of organizations working to empower migrant women and men in the MENA region. We were invited for consultative conversations in Qatar with the Ministry of Labor around best practices in aftercare for shelters that support women and men who have experienced exploitation.
