In a white converted weatherboard church just away from a main road in Jesmond is Zara's House. A secular not-for-profit centre that offers a range of support services for local refugee and asylum seeker women and children. It feels welcoming from the moment you walk in.
Established in 2016 by Sister Diana Santleben and Sister Betty Brown, it is a place of connection and community, a home away from home, for many new arrivals to the Hunter. A place to gather, learn, and meet other refugee and Australian women.
