ASSIST India's photostream  

ASSIST is a secular, not-for-profit organization working for the development of poor and marginalized communities in the rural areas of Prakasam, Guntur, Krishna, and Ranga Reddy Districts in Andhra Pradesh, India.

With small beginnings in 1985, ASSIST is today known as a highly respected, trusted, and capable organisation in the State of Andhra Pradesh. A unique feature of the organisation has been in developing innovative and adaptable strategies based on experience and continuous communication at the village-level, in order to achieve the over-all objective: “Making the community a viable unit for its own development”. Over the years, ASSIST has guided the process of transformation in hundreds of communities within Andhra Pradesh.

At present, it has phased out its support in 130 villages, and is currently working to build the foundations for sustainable development in a total of 350 villages.
