AWYAD was established in 2010, by the Late Rev. Fr. Johannes Prus Joseph Van Deven who had a strong passion to support vulnerable women and youth faced with poverty, exploitation, and abuse as a result of marginalization and discrimination. Believing in the special power women hold, he put women at the forefront of the organization's leadership and management. The organization has very experienced Directors, management, and staff, with technical expertise in the fields of Gender, Human Rights, Emergency Response, and Education. Over the years AWYAD has become a recognized institution in areas of emergency response, advocacy, and education work, all attributed to its unique program design and community-based approach. The institution has the mandate to operate nationally wide and currently has a strong presence in the Northern, Western, Eastern, and Central parts of the country.
