About Asis NGO
Asis Community Development and Empowerment NGO, Inc (Asis Community) is a 501 c (3), not-for-profit organization that was founded in March of 2009 with the goal of making a difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities by empowering communities economically, socially, spiritually, and sustainable self-reliance in development of their wellbeing and livelihoods.
Asis Community is located in the City of Frederick, State of Maryland, United States of America. The socio-economic issues that affect and degrade our society, and which Asis Community hold firmly to eradication, include but not limited to living below the poverty line, living with debilitating diseases, and living in poor world-wide developing economies, such as in Africa, with limited access to education, shelter, water, technology, and basic life-sustaining necessities.
Asis Community is involved in initiatives that reach out to developing countries by promoting health change through individual and collaborative efforts designed to reduce health problems within our communities that include maltreatment, malnutrition, and lack of access to medical care services for school-aged children and adolescents, the orphaned, the poor, and the aged through the dedicated work of donors and volunteers.
Asis believes in empowering individuals in respective communities through the provision of ongoing preventative health education, healthy living, economic well-being, technology availability, pediatric care services, school lunches, and nutrition education programs.
