I have had the privilege of volunteering at Assist for over 6 years. It has been a great experience working with the staff. I started in the warehouse sorting donations and now am volunteering in the office assisting with the mailing of the newsletters.

Four years ago I started volunteering in the warehouse sorting merchandise that was donated. I was amazed at all the items available for organizations oversees as well as locally. It was a pleasure to work with the staff and other volunteers. A couple years ago I was asked to help the office staff with various projects. Now I am fully dedicated to assisting other volunteers in assembling the newsletters that focus on overseas work. I have observed their dedication to helping the "least of these" no matter where they are - in the US or around the world - with the love of Jesus wrapped up in from each shipment out of the warehouse to each newsletter that is mailed.
I not only donate monthly to Assist International but have gone on 5 trips with them as a volunteer for various orphan and medical projects. Their commitment to responsibly help those in need is outstanding.
Although I am an employee here at Assist International, I have been involved in their work prior to coming to work here. I'm so proud to be a part of such a caring organization who really looks for opportunities to help "the one". The variety of work that we do is a testimony to how much we care and are able to pivot to meet needs. Even if I weren't an employee, I would support their efforts to meet needs. I commend our founders and leadership for consistently addressing needs however and wherever we can with all our partners! Please check out our website to see what we are doing!
With material and logistical support from Assist International, our organization has been able to provide medical equipment to 5 community hospitals in Ghana. As a result, the life expectancy of the communities has improved significantly. Especially for expectant mothers and children.

Assist International have been instrumental in our work in West Africa. In collaboration with Assist, our organization has delivered vital medical equipment and supplies to 6 community hospitals and clinics in the Northern, Ashanti, and Greater Accra Regions of Ghana.
The operation and resulting positive impact of these projects has been sustained for 13 years and counting. Orphanages and Schools for the Blind have also benefited from our work.
They organized a fantastic lecture series on Oxygen and Critical Care that I participated in. They have also organized many regional lectures on the subject. The lectures were very well attended and beautifully interactive.
Assist International is built from the ground up to assist the world's most vulnerable people. They do it very successfully and we love supporting them in their mission. We've provided IT services to them since 2015 and they are a great organization to do business with. They are friendly, professional and the organization runs like clockwork.
Assist International is an absolutely amazing organization run by an amazing, truly selfless family and individuals with the most caring, giving, and beautiful hearts! This organization is truly focused on implementing solutions to rescue children in need and make life saving impacts around the world.

From intense physical labor to feeding the hungry, this organization provides it all. I highly recommend this organization as they truly stand behind their values!
I have been working with Assist International since they have started working with World Vision and their donation program. I have found the staff to be extremely committed to meeting needs not just in their local community but wherever their reach can extend. I have worked with them in providing resources all over the world as well as my local community in San Jose. They are compassionate, generous and always accommodating in making things work in order that the needs of our world are met! Thank you, Assist and World Vision for all you do to bring a little love, hope, cheer and especially Christ into our world!!
I come to Assist with It’s A New Day Recovery Home. I love being able to give to others by helping sort the pallets. Everyone from the different groups work together even though we don’t all know each other. Thank you for allowing me to help.
I had the chance to work with assist international for a relief project to bless needy families in the Bay Area during Christmas. The Assist international team were such a blast to work with. They were kind, professional & fun!
I strongly endorse this organization. The work they are doing is so needed & they do it very well.
Amazing mission and group of people. They have always been so good with communication. They walked us trough their base and location and really showed us how our funds are being used. Love the drive and impact they are having around the world! ]
We have been working with Assist International for several years. They have provided everything from paper plates to kitchen ware to furniture to lawnmowers. They have helped us bless others which helps the men in our program through their recovery. We at Adult & Teen Challenge Faith Home Network are proud to be volunteers for them.
I cannot think of a better name to describe the word of thiahs incredible ministry than assist.
The dictionary describes assist as meaning "to support of give aid to "
There are so man people in so many countries that have been supported and received both financial and practical aid from assist. In fact that is why it is called Assist International
I have never been so impacted and challenged to more generous in my giving than I was by meeting the founding president Bob Paget, His geanerosity flows through the veins of all who are involved in this ministry as they relentlessly seek to Assist as many as they can in as many ways as possible.
I count it a privilege just to know them and a challenge to be more like them

My personal experience and relationship with Assist International goes back to 1997. I led and headed up two building project teams from our church to build orphan homes in Romania and Uganda. I have found their humanitarian life-changing work around the world to be of the highest integrity and always professional and worthy of my continued financial support.
I am the Executive Director of a non profit which serves homeless and previously incarcerated individuals and helps them re-integrate into society. I approached Assist International requesting an opportunity for our clients to volunteer and learn job skills in an actual work environment. The directors accepted our men with a welcoming and cheerful spirit, and staff guided them as they performed various tasks. Our men felt accepted and wanted which went a long way in helping them develop self-confidence and self-worth, feelings of acceptance in spite of their past and also inspired them develop achievable work goals. Assist International is a great asset to society, not only due to their laudable mission-related work but also, as in our case, how the company has helped those who are most in need within the local community. Thank you Assist International.
I am Kasonka Pythias Program manager for Livingstone Anglican Children's Project/ Ngwenya Community Youth Empowerment here in Livingstone Zambia, I wish to appreciate the work Assist International is doing to uplift life standard of vulnerable people around the globe.
Our organization is one of the beneficiary from Assist International and we would like this partnership to continue in 2023 and beyond.
As lead pastor of a 2000+ church, I was personally involved in a $200,000 humanitarian project with Assist. I was impressed with their integrity and their close cooperation with local communities and other NGO's. It was evident from my on-scene observations that they are held in high esteem by governments of countries in which they work. From the beginning to the end of our project, and in years following, we received respectful guidance from Assist directors. Our hearts were moved as we witnessed other humanitarian projects and spoke with national medical and aide workers who commented on the life-saving contributions to their communities.
As a volunteer, it was the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. The staff is awesome!
This organization helps those who are struggling here locally from loss due to fires to those overseas who need anything from modern medical equipment, to clothing, furniture & building supplies.
This is the most caring ministry & was very blessed to have been a part of it.
I am so thankful to be a small part of this amazing organization. They have such a heart for people and everyone connected to each of their projects. It is rare to see an organization that wants to help people all over the world but also works just as hard to help their local community. What an amazing group of people at Assist International and Community Assist...
I first worked with Assist International in 2002, where they partnered with Cupertino Rotary to install a cardiac care unit in a children's hospital in Chile, that has been saving 100 children's lives every year. Since then they have been involved in many other great projects solving health issues all around the world.
Assist International has been a partner, sponsor and friend for our charitable organization, "Jesus the Hope of Romania", for many many years now. There are no words to express how valuable the support we have received from Assist International has been and how easy they have made it to cooperate with them: they are professional, trustworthy, always on time, sensitive to our needs and sensible to the context we live and work in. We couldn't imagine doing our charitable work here in Romania without them by our side.
Over the many years that I have supported Assist International, I have watched how orphans have been cared for, supported and loved by Assist. Medical needs of many countries have been met with equipment and training provided by the organization of Assist International. The leaders that are directly involved in this endeavor have committed their lives to meet the needs of those less fortunate. Assist International is a worthy organization to support.
Thank to AI we have a Pediatric Cardiovascular Center at Roberto del Río Children Hospital in Santiago, Chile. Because of that we do not have a waiting list anymore in our country
Thank you so much Assist International
Let’s keep in touch

I have volunteered for them in several ways in the past. Assist International is very efficient and serves needs in different ways. They are helping in foreign countries and also helping the needs of many in the United States.
Assist International, CA, is the finest and most reliable Charity Organization we know. For 35 years they have through their leaders been the close friends always accommodating themselves to the needs presented. There has been advice and good leadership as to those details their long time of experience has given them to give. In times of hardship, like in seasons of Pandemies and even financial hardship, and managerial assistant they stand out like nobody else. Incredible is their integrity, reliable is their support and knowldegable is their advice. We have seen them reach out to great needs in hospital all around the world and made installation unique installation of ground breaking quality. They have bult hospitals, schools, facilities for masses of abandoned children and provided the finest people of knowledge to lead national leaders.

The people at Assist International were/are instrumental in helping to build and maintain entire village in Romania (Caminul Felix) to provide a true home to orphans and other abandoned children In this village children are placed in Foster Homes with mothers and fathers and a number of siblings of various ages, genders and from various locations in Romania. These children are loved and trained and given hope for a future that is successful. They also learn about Jesus and God's wisdom from the Bible . They are taught life skills, farming and animal care, and now even have technical training opportunities on or near the village. These once abandoned and homeless children have been given the gift of a quality life, both here on earth and the Biblical information they need to go to heaven when they die. My wife and I have been supporters for many years and she and I feel confident that our monthly support has a significant impact on children who otherwise had little or no hope. Would heartily recommend them to anyone who is seeking to make a significant difference in this often cruel and uncaring world.
They have done and are doing amazing things all over the world, in over 25 countries. They keep me informed through social media and newsletters. They have a high rating for nonprofits.
Assist International has taken on some monumental challenges facing some of the neediest regions of the world. Their staff has developed expertise in areas around health care development and delivery. They take action and deliver actual solutions and do not spend all of their time on academic studies without action. Assist International gets things done!
Amazed at the level of commitment and concern shown by individuals involved with this organization. They do so much for so many and bring joy into lives also.
Assist International is a pleasure to work with. I believe their international work facilitates a better world for every human being and on a more closer/local level they donate and distribute items like food, water, furniture, blankets, clothing, PPE and more to those in need. I feel blessed to have them in my community.
We have worked with Assist International for many, many years. We trust AI to be faithful to their objectives, to handle our giving with integrity and to be a partner around the world in meeting real needs. As a Pastor, it is important to choose partners that will not violate my trust as that impacts my reputation and word before my congregation. AI has never failed to be a trustworthy partner in ministry.

We are huge fans of Assist International. Knowing how the ministry was begun in such a small way and how it has grown to what it is today is astounding. Beginning with providing medical equipment to countries that has little access to it, making sure the local people were trained properly and carefully, and then branching out to building orphanages in Romania and other nations and meeting the needs of people in so many different ways, is truly inspirational. We have absolute confidence that everything they do is done carefully and expertly and will continue to support them in every way we can.
I highly value the work of Assist International. I have participated in many projects with them in several different countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The resources they offer and the help they provide to the medical community where they serve has been incredible to witness. I have heard the president say "we want to underpromise and over deliver" and they have done this each time. The baseline of what they promise is significant and the reality of what they deliver exceeds expectations of all involved. I have no hesitation in endorsing this non-profit with the highest recommendation for both financial support and personal involvement.
I have had the privilege to join Assist on several medical trips to install patient monitoring equipment at hospitals in third world countries. That equipment has saved hundreds if not thousands of lives. Assist has a heart for the world and is doing great humanitarian work in not only the medical arena, but also in building orphanages and water systems, helping fire victims, and much more. They are a first class organization!
For over a decade I have had the privilege of being involved with Assist International. My part has been minimal as an occassional volunteer. I have always been amazed at the scope and breadth of Assist International's contributions to humanitarian causes in third world nations around the world. From assisting hospitals with installation and training on cardiac care monitoring systems, to clean water projects, women's empowerment programs, orphan village projects, installation and training on oxygen production plants for hospitals, Assist International always works toward training and empowering local communities to be self-sustaining in all these areas and more. They are able to get things done quicker and more efficiently than organizations that are much larger and have much more resources.
I have observed and participated with Assist International for over 30 years. During this time it has grown to be a seasoned and respected organization that effectively serves the health and well-being of thousands in communities, cities and nations around the world. I recommend this nonprofit without reservation.
We run a non-profit in Uganda ( New Dawn Africa Foundation ) & Assist International has been there for us in so many ways. Through their support we have been able to empower women and children living with HIV/AIDS in our community. Their nutritional needs have been met and each dollar has gone towards what it’s meant for. We love you Assist International and thank you for walking this journey with us and trusting us.
