Project Esperanza

Project Esperanza bringing specialist services and culturally appropriate support to families of African heritage.

Project Esperanza has been a credible force for good that has been dedicated to bringing positive change to the lives of women living in the United Kingdom since 2016. The service was run voluntarily as a pilot for five years before acquiring charitable status to assess the need for culturally appropriate support services because there were gaps in the services available specifically for Black and African women in Scotland.

We now operate as a womanist initiative as well as a leading Scottish registered charity that is committed to the promotion of equality and diversity by raising awareness, challenging and reducing health and social inequalities through the provision of specific, specialist, faith sensitive, culturally appropriate and practical mental health, well-being and integration support and services to women and families of African heritage living in North Edinburgh.
