Mission: We envision a community where all immigrants overcome obstacles in order to succeed and thrive in the United States. We realize our vision by advocating for low-income immigrants through direct legal, social and language services, training and outreach in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
Results: Ayuda offers a full range of legal, social, and language services for low-income immigrants from anywhere in the world. Our expert and dedicated professionals help our community’s immigrants navigate the immigration and justice systems, access the social safety net, and overcome language barriers. Since 1973, Ayuda’s support has transformed the lives of more than 100,000 vulnerable people – young “Dreamers,” survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence, LGBTQ immigrants, and more.
Target demographics: the region's low-income immigrant community
Direct beneficiaries per year: over 8,700 individuals from more than 100 countries
Geographic areas served: Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland
Programs: More than one million of our neighbors in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC moved here from abroad with dreams of a better future. From the teenage boy who fled violence and death threats, to the mother who received a work visa from a local farm.
These immigrants go to our children’s schools, provide essential skills for our businesses, and are vibrant members of our diverse communities. Yet, all too often, our neighbors do not receive equal levels of justice and protection.
