On August 13, 2024, Public Interest Registry (PIR), the organization behind the .ORG domain, proudly announced that AIDFI has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 .ORG Impact Awards. This esteemed global awards program honors exceptional mission-driven individuals and organizations worldwide for their significant contributions to society.
