ABOUT US
For decades, Azusa Foundation I has been empowering underserved communities and marginalized women and rehabilitating homeless individuals in the United States and West Africa.
Our mission has always been to empower those individuals who are disfranchised and need our direct support to once again become productive members of their respective communities.
We accomplish this goal through various social services and community projects, and through civic engagement with policy makers and leaders around the world.
Our organization strives to make the world a better place and encourages others who follow in our message of "Empowering the Oppressed", to help us continue and strengthen our work.
