AVSI Foundation

AVSI intervenes in situations of chronical crises, together with local communities. Their initiatives aim at reducing the consequences of these crises, working on health, education and to increase families’ income. AVSI’s activities include the support to families and women, the protection of children, quality primary and secondary education, and the strengthening of civil society organizations.
The focus of AVSI's work in DR Congo is answering to the needs of thousands of displaced people who continue to move from one place to another, without a destination because of the continuous fighting. AVSI protects the children, their families and the communities against discriminations, violence and exploitation, ensuring immediate access to primary services, like quality education or by distributing essential items and through cash transfer projects.
