Pittsburgh nonprofits get lifeline as YWCA shares $20 million grant from MacKenzie Scott

For those who have landed in Pittsburgh to forge a better life, their lack of literacy puts them at a severe disadvantage in job opportunities, obtaining health care and even getting a driver’s license because they can’t read road signs and study testing materials, says Khara Timsina, executive director of the Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh. With a $20,000 grant from the YWCA Greater Pittsburgh, the association is providing local Bhutanese women with programs that can help them thrive in a new homeland, including driving lessons, computer literacy, parental support, and wellness sessions such as meditation and yoga.
