Who We Are
A family rooted in Rivers State, thriving in the diaspora
The Rivers State Women Association (RIVSWAAG) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to women who trace their roots to Rivers State, Nigeria — whether by birth or marriage.
We are a community of sisters, mothers, professionals, and trailblazers based in Atlanta, Georgia. We hold our culture close while building new legacies for ourselves and for the next generation of Rivers State daughters across North America.
Through advocacy, education, mentorship, and celebration of our heritage, we stand together — always.
