About us
Who we are
Activists Without Borders is a global movement dedicated to breaking down barriers and inspiring change across the world. We are a dynamic network of passionate individuals, united by a common purpose: to create a world where activism knows no boundaries.
Founded in the heart of the United Kingdom, Activists Without Borders emerged from the belief that change, compassion, and the collective power of individuals can transcend geographical borders. Since our inception, we have been driven by the desire to unite activists from diverse backgrounds, working across a myriad of causes, to amplify their impact on the global stage.
AWB is a non-profit company registered in England and Wales.
