About us
AYUDA, Inc. is a community-based non-profit organization in Miami Beach, Florida that was established in 1977. Since its establishment, AYUDA has served over 200,000 children, adolescents, adults, and elderly in South Florida. Our agency provides programs to prevent abuse and neglect. AYUDA’s programs help prepare our youth for the world at large. We empower and inspire our clients to believe that they do make a difference in the world.

Early educational scholarships, parenting skills as well as family empowerment programs are in place for the entire family unit.
It takes parents, teachers, love and caregivers… It takes a village to raise a child.
