Where We Work
From India to Kenya to Haiti and beyond, AJWS supports extraordinary leaders for social justice who are working to build a better world—locally, nationally and globally.
Africa
AJWS supports activists on the frontlines of social change in three countries in Africa. From galvanizing a youth movement for democracy in Senegal to fighting laws that oppress LGBTQI+ people in Kenya to helping refugees rebuild their lives in Uganda – AJWS grantees work tirelessly to build just societies around the continent.
Asia
Across five* countries in Asia, AJWS supports grassroots social change organizations fighting for the human rights of their communities. From feminist activists working to advance gender equality in India to Indigenous communities protecting their lands in Thailand — AJWS grantees work to build more equitable and just societies.
Latin America & The Caribbean

These changemakers are protecting their communities’ ancestral territories in Mexico, rebuilding democracy in Haiti, standing up for reproductive justice in El Salvador—and much more.
