AVSI-USA is a small non-profit organization whose mission is to promote human dignity through long-term development projects and partnerships in contexts of vulnerability and poverty around the world. AVSI-USA works through the AVSI network (www.avsi.org) which is present in 30 countries both directly and through partnerships with hundreds of local, community based organizations. AVSI-USA leverages US based resources, both financial and technical, to further this mission. More than just channeling resources to our partners overseas, AVSI-USA bridges the gap between the individuals and communities we serve and the donors and supporters from the U.S.
