Assisi Aid Projects Annual Report 2016 | Page 14

Our Partners

Our projects would not be possible without the local expertise and skill of our in-country partners . Assisi Aid Projects would like to acknowledge and thank our partners in India and Cambodia for their work and commitment .
In India , Assisi partners with Integrated Development Trust ( IDT ) in Kancheepurum district and Perambalur Social Service Society ( PSSS ) in Trichy district .
Our two projects in Tamil Nadu have a team of 48 staff who are trained specialists in community development .
In Cambodia , Assisi has partnered with Live & Learn Environmental Education since 2010 . This partnership has provided an opportunity for the transfer of the Self-Help Group model from India to Cambodia . This has seen the successful set up of 17 Savings Groups in rural areas of Cambodia . Many of these groups have been operating now for 6 years .
