Community Reviews
Ambassadors for Sustained Health is an amazing organization with a unique vision and approach. Some things that stand out from my experience working with them:
1. their comprehensive approach toward the issue of healthcare - ASH understands that the health of a community goes beyond medicine and facilitates programs that impact essential facets of growth and development in a community such as education, agriculture and economic opportunity.
2. the way they work with the communities they partner with - from the beginning, the organization has had goal of making a long-term impact and that mindset permeates their approach. ASH focuses on one community at a time and partners with community leaders to work toward their unique aspirations instead of solely dropping off financial support. Programs are run by community members and the entire community is in turn invested in their development and growth.
Ambassadors for Sustained Health is made up of enthusiastic individuals, optimistic about the impact communities can have in creating a sustained healthier future.
