Who We Are

ASSIST is a registered non-governmental organisation working for the development of poor and marginalised communities in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India. 

ASSIST helps the most underprivileged members of society, but we do so with a difference. Our organisation’s proven and sustainable approach focuses on the comprehensive development of communities

Building Ideal Communities

ASSIST’s Approach

The unique feature of ASSIST’s approach is that we help communities to find answers for themselves by ensuring all its members take an active and participative role right from the beginning of any intervention. 

ASSIST does not work for the people, but with the people, to achieve our overall objective: making a community a viable unit for its own development.
