Further Information

AFSTAÐA is a non-governmental organization that operates with integrity and in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We seek support to continue providing essential social counseling and assistance to individuals and their families in challenging circumstances.

AFSTAÐA holds an operating license from the Quality and Supervision Authority for Welfare Services and has decades of experience assisting those in vulnerable situations.

AFSTAÐA has long safeguarded peer-based social counseling and the human rights of those most in need of support within Icelandic society. Among those who regularly seek our counsel, beyond offenders and their families, are prison authorities, ministries, municipalities, Parliament, the media, the Parliamentary Ombudsman (OPCAT), and other key governmental stakeholders. Each year, approximately 2,500 cases come to AFSTAÐA, highlighting the scope and significance of our services. Our efforts focus on improving public health, rehabilitation, and creating a better future.

AFSTAÐA works diligently to support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to good health, gender equality, innovation, and partnerships to create sustainable solutions for the entire society. By supporting AFSTAÐA, you contribute to the advancement of these goals in a way that not only benefits those in need but also enhances the sustainability of society as a whole, reduces crime, lowers costs, and, most importantly, decreases the number of victims, which should always be the ultimate goal.

AFSTAÐA's volunteers are the key to our success. Many of them are healthcare professionals with decades of experience, ensuring that our counseling and support are built on a strong foundation of professionalism and knowledge. The cornerstone of our volunteer work is our peers, who provide support and guidance on a peer-to-peer basis. Our projects are selfless, aiming to improve the lives of individuals and society as a whole.

Most of AFSTAÐA’s operational funding comes from individuals, which highlights the trust and appreciation of those who support our work. We are immensely proud to receive such backing, but to meet the growing demands, we are now seeking grants to ensure the continuation of our services.

By supporting AFSTAÐA, you are contributing to the goals of a better future, improved public health, and rehabilitation in Icelandic society.

We believe that with increased support, we can continue to do what we do best – helping those in need and promoting justice and humanity. Every contribution makes a difference in our journey to build a better society for everyone.

AFSTAÐA
For a better future,
improved public health,
and rehabilitation since 2005.
