Who we are

Identity & Journey

A living model of resilience and women's leadership. Founded in 2013 in response to the needs of women and girls in Darfur, we are a voice and refuge for the most vulnerable.

Our strength comes from our roots in local communities, turning challenges into opportunities for empowerment.

Our Vision

A leading beacon of sustainable social change that protects dignity, promotes justice and builds resilient communities.

Our Mission

Empowering the most vulnerable, especially women and girls, through smart development, rapid humanitarian response and strong partnerships.

General Goal

Ending poverty, achieving gender justice, and empowering women politically, economically and legally as partners in decision-making and peacebuilding.
