About AVSI
AVSI's presence in Palestine began in 1993 with small-business development projects in the West Bank territories. The great presence of vulnerable people with diversified needs and the close collaboration with important local public and private institutions have led AVSI to intervene in various sectors: education, social inclusion of vulnerable people, employment inclusion, and sustainable development of small and involvement of associations of solidarity and institutions, and the employment of civil service volunteers and experts. The method adopted by AVSI follows some fundamental principles. Firstly, the person at the centre: the person is always “met” with an immediate respect for their dignity and uniqueness and their inclusion in a fabric of family and social relationships. The person is never considered an isolated individual, nor defined by sociological categories or by the circumstances in which they find themselves (poverty, sickness, disability, war). Secondly, AVSI consider as something fundamental the Development of intermediary and subsidiary bodies: to plan and carry out development projects implies favoring people’s social skills, promoting the creation of intermediary bodies (civil society organizations, auxiliary organizations) and of a social fabric eager for participation and capable of joint responsibility.
