What is the African Salvation Group about?

The African Salvation Group Corp. (ASG) is a Bronx-based 501(c) (3) Health and Human Service nonprofit organization. ASG's purpose is to promote health education, prevention, build skills to reduce risk and stigma, especially in regard to HIV/AIDS, STI, TB and Malaria. Its interventions also offer opportunities to improve educational levels, gain job-related skills, and build personal and community capacity.

Founded in 2002 by Felly Katalay, the African Salvation Group has transformed itself into an implementing and service organization. ASG provides direct services to the communities in need and support to local human service groups. We also provide expertise, knowledge and skills from field experience to support other organizations, often as part of a scale-up strategy.

At present, the African Salvation Group is simultaneously implementing its programs in New York City, USA and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo through local partners.

While focusing on health and human capacity-building, ASG's close work with clients is informed by a social justice agenda, helping clients break the vicious cycle of poverty and live healthy lives. We seek the opportunity to advance this important work with generous assistance from our volunteers, individual donors, corporations, foundations and governmental agencies that believe in our mission.
