About ASEnD-Int.
OUR VISION
Established in 2014, the Association of Social and Environmental Development International (ASEnD-Int) was created in an effort to promote basic human rights among those who lack access to the infrastructure and education necessary to sustain a decent standard of living. Our purpose is to help empower local communities by assisting them with the development and implementation of constructive projects shaped around the specific needs of that community. MISSION We aim to focus on some of the most marginalized and vulnerable groups in the developing world who truly need assistance as they often are not reached by conventional humanitarian efforts. Our goal is to help inspire behavior change and develop innovative solutions to complex problems faced by those in developing countries. ACHIEVING OUR MISSION We will accomplish our mission through community engagement and together discover solutions/ answers to the difficult problems that are preventing and limiting the regions ability to see its full potential. As a smaller organisation, we are able to avoid the logistical and procedural impasses that obstruct larger structured institutions. This can help ensure that remote and rural communities in developing regions receive vital tools to combat avoidable but life threatening sanitary and hygienic threats, while helping to protect and conserve natural resources. OUR BELIEFS We believe that the only way to ensure the successful implementation of any project is through integrating local knowledge and utilizing locally available resources. We want to engage with the communities and understand their situation from their perspective, while developing relationships and establishing mutual trust. From here, we can share knowledge and find a way to leverage the skills and abilities already in place, and build upon those. |
