What JAHAJEE does

Jahajee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit gender justice organization operating as a project of the Center for Transformative Action, headquartered in Queens, New York. Founded in 2008 (originally as "Sisters") and rebranded in 2024 to its current name, the organization serves Indo-Caribbean women, girls, and gender-expansive people in New York who are affected by intimate partner violence, family violence, and sexual violence. Its core offerings consist of community programs — survivor support via a Get Help helpline (347.201.4931) and safe-exit resources, a membership program with monthly gatherings and leadership roles, arts activism and grassroots organizing campaigns, and a newsletter — all delivered free of charge to beneficiaries.

The organization does not rely on proprietary technology; its service delivery is human-centered and community-led, with its website (jahajeesisters.org) functioning as an information and intake gateway rather than a software platform. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, integrations, or digital product surface have been disclosed.

Jahajee generates revenue exclusively through charitable donations, with all funds accepted through its fiscal sponsor, the Center for Transformative Action, via platforms including Every.org and GiveGab. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees. The organization operates exclusively in New York and has no disclosed geographic expansion plans, institutional investors, or revenue figures. Its strategic posture is community-building and culturally-specific intervention in gender-based violence rather than product or technology expansion.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: National advocacy organization addressing domestic violence through public policy, education, and resource development. Comparable to Jahajee in DV mission space but operates as a broad national policy/advocacy umbrella rather than direct culturally-specific service delivery.
• Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence: National resource center addressing gender-based violence in Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities through research, training, and policy advocacy. Comparable to Jahajee in mission focus but operates at a broader population scale and serves a national convening role rather than direct-service delivery to a specific diaspora.

Direct peers

• CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities: NYC-based Asian American community organizing nonprofit addressing housing, gentrification, and immigrant rights through grassroots member-led campaigns. Comparable to Jahajee in NYC community-organizing GTM and member-driven model, with overlapping Asian diaspora membership.
• Sakhi for South Asian Women: NYC-based nonprofit serving South Asian diaspora survivors of gender-based violence through counseling, advocacy, and community organizing. Closely comparable to Jahajee in mission, geography, and cultural-specificity model, with the main difference being the South Asian (vs. Indo-Caribbean) community focus.
• MANAVI: New Jersey-based nonprofit serving South Asian women affected by domestic and sexual violence through survivor services and community education. Comparable to Jahajee as a culturally-specific gender-violence organization within the South Asian diaspora, with a similar organizational scale and survivor-centered model.
• Caribbean Women's Health Association: NYC-based nonprofit serving Caribbean immigrants and women with health, social, and survivor support services. Comparable to Jahajee through overlapping Caribbean diaspora focus and women's services orientation, though its scope is broader (health and immigration) rather than gender-violence-specific.
• Desis Rising Up and Moving (DRUM): NYC-based South Asian and Indo-Caribbean community organizing nonprofit focused on immigrant workers, youth, and families. Comparable to Jahajee through overlapping Indo-Caribbean/South Asian diaspora membership in NYC and a community-organizing GTM, though its issues span labor and immigration rather than gender violence specifically.

Others

• The Audre Lorde Project: NYC-based community organizing project for lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, trans, and gender-nonconforming people of color. Comparable to Jahajee through overlap in LGBTQ+ POC community building and NYC organizing infrastructure, though its scope is broader and not gender-violence-specific.
