Welcome to the ASCEND / UPlej Site:

Our Mission: EMPOWER THOSE IN NEED TO SAVE THEIR CHILDREN AND ASCEND OUT OF POVERTY.

Our Sustainable Development Programs transcend political, cultural, and language barriers to answer requests for life-changing programs in education, enterprise, health and simple technology. We work side-by-side with those in need as partners. We assist with literacy programs, school construction, and library books and supplies. We also partner in enterprise training, small business development, health training, medical and dental services, and building health clinics. Those we work with have benefited from technology training, clean water systems, gardens, greenhouses, and food storage, stoves, latrines, and community bathrooms.

Our programs continue to expand as each community puts forth effort towards continued success. As a Service-Learning Participant;on an expedition, as an intern, as part of a sister-school program, or as part of our other volunteer programs;you will have the opportunity to expand your own potential and gain an informed global perspective. Join with us and become partners in progress; sharing our resources to help children and families in need to ASCEND.
