ASCEND: a Humanitarian Alliance

Description

ASCEND: a Humanitarian Alliance is a unique organization where caring people make an individual impact at home and across the world.

Our Sustainable Development Programs transcend political, cultural, and language barriers to answer requests for life-saving programs in education, enterprise, health and simple technology.

We work side-by-side with some of the most impoverished people of the world, helping them with school construction, education materials; enterprise training and small business development; health training, medical and dental services, building health clinics; technology training, clean water systems, gardens, greenhouses and food storage, stoves and other energy sources, latrines and community bathrooms. ASCEND provides life-skills mentoring to the poorest of the poor.

As a Service-Learning Participant--on an expedition, as an intern, as part of a sister-school program, or other volunteer programs--you will have opportunities to expand your own potential and become informed with a rich, global perspective. We become partners in progress; sharing the power within ourselves to help children and families in need to ASCEND.
