PACTEC is fast becoming an integral part of serving our world's developing nations. Providing expertise in aviation, communication, and other technologies, PACTEC is a hands-on partner. We multiply the effectiveness of other humanitarian organizations and government agencies by overcoming communications and transportation barriers.

Our Vision:
PACTEC aims to see nations actualize their full potential through partnerships with humanitarian agencies that elevate the human condition. The PACTEC purpose is to develop servant leaders who, working with partners, promote human dignity by overcoming barriers:

• Transportation and logistical needs
• Communications capacity and resources
• Telecommunication centers for education and learning
• Technologies that lead to transformational change
• Technical schools in applied communications and aviation technology

Aviation Services:
PACTEC provides safe, dependable, and cost-effective air transportation to agencies involved in humanitarian assistance, such as non-government (NGO) and private voluntary organizations (PVO), government aid agencies, UN agencies, and national government ministries. PACTEC specializes in operating single and twin-engine aircraft in remote areas and where alternative modes of transportation are impractical or unavailable. PACTEC air and ground crews have extensive experience in developing areas of the world.

Communications Services:
PACTEC provides assistance to PVOs, NGOs, and national government ministries to establish or improve two-way communications where reliable telephone service is unavailable. PACTEC purchases, installs, and maintains HF/VHF radio networks, and satellite communications connectivity. PACTEC installs and administers computer LAN/WAN networks for e-mail and Web-based communications and applications. PACTEC also provides training for local technicians who can then operate and maintain PACTEC communications systems.

Partnering:
PACTEC values collaboration in carrying out programs of humanitarian assistance. Many needs are too large for any one organization to meet, requiring the resources of several. More can be accomplished jointly than if agencies work independently. Collaboration allows organizations to work within their areas of expertise and still bring all the skills and resources together to accomplish a given task.

PACTEC - "Partners in Technology International" is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation registered in the State of California since July 1994.
