MASI Legacy Project is an Ireland-based nonprofit dedicated to safeguarding the rights and well-being of asylum seekers in Ireland.

Founded by a team of advocates and educators, we bridge the gap between vulnerability and empowerment by providing education, skills training, and systemic advocacy.

We believe that every person deserves dignity, safety, and the tools to build a future, regardless of their immigration status.

Our Mission and Vision

An Ireland where asylum seekers are welcomed, empowered, and equipped to thrive as equal members of society.
