| About Assisi Aid Projects |
Assisi Aid Projects supports development work organised by our Indian partner NGO, Assisi Farm & Training Centre (AF&TC) led by Sister Stella Edattu. Assisi provides funding and technical and professional advice to AF&TC. We are a non-denominational aid agency – with a “no strings attached” philosophy. Our programs are open and available to all and do not promote or support any religious or political adherences. Assisi was formed in 1985. It is based in regional Victorian and is overseen by a Committee of Management. Many supporters provide their skills on an unpaid basis to assist with the running of our Australian operations. Assisi holds base accreditation with AusAID. We receive funding from the Australian Government for our development projects. Donations to Assisi for projects that alleviate poverty are tax-deductible. Assisi Aid Projects is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and abides by the ACFID Code of Conduct.
