UKRAINE EMERGENCY #HELPUKRAINE
The war in Ukraine goes on, while refugee families are now integrating to new homes. AVSI has been there from beginning with campaigns such as #HelpUkraine; walking hand-in-hand with refugees en route and at Refugee Centers (Romania, Poland, and Italy); and now not only staying in Ukraine, but trying to get deeper to areas of fierce fighting to get help to those most in need. Help us continue to #HelpUkraine.

AVSI-USA to host Graduating to Resilience Learning Summit
AVSI-USA is excited to bring together key global players to celebrate the power of the Graduation Approach to transform lives. What makes this approach so successful is the holistic services offered, for they not only provide new skills, but confidence to the targeted ultra-poor households (HH), as well as improve their security to diversify income, protect against shocks, and sustain well-being.
IN-PERSON AND IN-COLOR: AVSI ‘COME & SEE’ PARTICIPANTS SHARE SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH CRECEMOS DIJO IN OAXACA, MEXICO
On April 18, 2022, a group of individual private donors, as well as their family members and a few AVSI-USA staff, set out on a “Come & See” trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, to visit the Crecemos DIJO Center. The trip was a long time coming. It was originally scheduled for October 2020. Now, 18 months later, it was finally happening. Yet, after two years in a world substantially changed by the pandemic, some of us couldn’t help but wonder if we should be taking this trip at all.
