AVSI Foundation is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1972, with headquarters in Milan, Italy and an office in Washington, DC.
AVSI works for a world where the person, aware of her value and dignity, is the protagonist of his/her own integral development and that of his/her community, even in crisis and emergency contexts.
At present, AVSI is operating in 32 countries in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, the Middle East and South-East Asia.
AVSI implements cooperation projects in various sectors with a preferential focus on education, meaning that the person is accompanied towards self-discovery and recognition that the other person is a resource.
Each project is conceived of as an instrument to promote this awareness in everyone involved, has in itself a need for communicating and sharing, and creates an impact capable of generating a positive change.
In project implementation, AVSI uses the following approach:
