Mission Statement
Ayuda advocates for low-income immigrants through direct legal, social and language services, training and outreach in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. We envision a community where all immigrants succeed and thrive in the United States.
About This Cause
For over 50 years, Ayuda’s expert team has helped over 150,000 immigrants navigate complex legal systems and access vital services. Many of Ayuda’s clients come to the U.S fleeing violence in their home country. Many of the individuals who turn to Ayuda for help are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and/or other crimes. Another specialized population served by Ayuda is immigrant children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by the parents or caregivers, and who may be eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Ayuda’s clients are some of our most marginalized and highly resilient community members. In 2024, Ayuda provided 3,109 low-income immigrants from 84 countries with immigration legal services, domestic violence, and family law services, comprehensive case management, and/or therapy. 165 language experts contributed to our interpreter bank, accessible to 118 nonprofits, allowing them to break down language barriers as they support clients. Over $228,000 in financial assistance, 21,400 diapers, and 12,800 pounds of food were distributed to help new immigrant families thrive. Ayuda’s programs are designed to holistically address the needs of vulnerable immigrant families.
