Overview

Mission

The azadi project's mission is to empower refugee, migrant, and marginalized women and girls to unleash their true potential and transform them into community leaders. We intend to accomplish this by providing leadership and livelihood skills along with psychosocial support in safe spaces.

What it reported doing in 2023

2. Lands, borders and people - in june/july 2023, the azadi project developed a 4-part interactive learning session elaborating on the legal, social, economic and cultural specificities of south asia and focused on raising awareness of refugee migration and displacement issues. The sessions, consisting of panel discussions from experts on the issue of refugees in southern asia, was aimed at human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and others, intended to create a call to action on these issues.azadi also organized a 2-day event in november 2023, attended by thought leaders, activists, artists, migrants, students, photographers and changemakers which delved into critical issues surrounding forced displacement and migration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
