ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Inspired by the Jewish commitment to justice, American Jewish World Service (AJWS) works to realize human rights and end poverty in the developing world. AJWS advances the rights of women, girls and LGBTI people; promotes recovery from conflict, disasters and oppression; and defends access to food, land and livelihoods. AJWS pursues lasting change by supporting grassroots and global human rights organizations in Africa, Asia and the Americas and by mobilizing supporters in the U.S. to advocate for global justice. Working together, the AJWS community strives to build a more just and equitable world.

AJWS’s international programs pursue this bold vision through grantmaking to grassroots NGOs and strategic allies to build civil society in the developing world. AJWS’s U.S.-based national programs are designed to mobilize and organize the American Jewish community and its allies to support policy change to advance human rights in the developing world.
