According to the United Nations, water shortages, dirty water, and climate change are endangering the lives of millions of people. Especially children and weakened people are threatened by diseases caused by polluted water and lack of hygiene. ASB is committed to providing clean drinking water and building sanitation facilities around the world.

For example, ASB is constructing wells in Niger, West Africa, that pump clean drinking water from depths of 500 to 750 meters. This enables the people and their livestock to drink fresh water. One of these deep wells also supplies thousands of refugees from neighboring Mali.

From the end of February to mid-March, Tropical Storm Freddy hit the southern African country of Mozambique, destroying buildings and infrastructure. To ensure access to clean drinking water, ASB and its local partner are providing mobile drinking water treatment units to provide clean water to the affected communities.

To enable people with disabilities to access sanitary facilities, ASB in Indonesia supports the barrier-free conversion of such facilities. With the involvement of disabled people's associations and the local population, the buildings are being designed earthquake-resistant.

Moreover, ASB supported people in need with clean drinking water after the severe earthquakes in Turkey and Syria by sending its rapid response team (FAST). Two water filtration plants were used to produce and distribute 20,000 liters of clean drinking water per day in the city of Samandağ in southeastern Turkey. In addition, 13 mobile Skyhydrant drinking water plants were delivered to partner organizations in Syria to produce drinking water there.

Η γνώση Πρώτων Βοηθειών είναι ανεκτίμητη τόσο σε ατοομικό επιέπεδο όσο και για την κοινότητα, καθώς δίνει τη δυνατότητα σε κάποιον να βοηθήσει άτομα που έχουν τραυματιστεί σε περίπτωση ατυχήματος ή έκτακτης ανάγκης μέχρι να φτάσει η βοήθεια.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, η ομάδα Community Engagement της , σε συνεργασία με τον ΕΟΔΥ, πραγματοποίησε εκπαιδευτικές συνεδρίες πρώτων βοηθειών στους κατοίκους των Ανοιχτών Κέντρων Διαμονής της Αγίας Ελένης και της Φιλιππιάδας. Οι συνεδρίες περιλάμβαναν εκπαίδευση για την καρδιοπνευμονική αναζωογόνηση και άλλες τεχνικές πρώτων βοηθειών, όπως θεραπεία σε περίπτωση εγκαύματος, πληγής/τραυματισμού, τραυματισμού στα μάτια, τραυματισμού στο κεφάλι κ.λπ.

Το έργο Harmonizing Protection Practices in Greece (HARP) υλοποιείται με τη χρηματοδότηση της Γενικής Διεύθυνσης Μετανάστευσης και Εσωτερικών Υποθέσεων της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής και την υποστήριξη του IOM Greece

First Aid knowledge is invaluable for both the individual and the community since enables somebody to assist persons who become injured in the event of an accident or emergency until help arrives.

Under this notion, the Community Engagement team of , in collaboration with EODY, conducted first-aid training sessions for the residents of Agia Eleni and Filippiada Open Accommodation Centers. The sessions included training on cardiopulmonary revitalization and other first aid techniques such as treatment in case of a burn, a wound/injury, an eye injury, a head injury, etc.

The Harmonizing Protection Practices in Greece (HARP) project is implemented with the funding of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs and the support of IOM Greece

Με την ευκαιρία της Παγκόσμιας Ημέρας της Γυναίκας, είναι καιρός να αναλογιστούμε την πρόοδο που σημειώθηκε, να ζητήσουμε αλλαγή και να γιορτάσουμε πράξεις θάρρους και αποφασιστικότητας από απλές γυναίκες, που έχουν διαδραματίσει εξαιρετικό ρόλο στην ιστορία των χωρών και των κοινοτήτων τους. Η ASB προωθεί ενεργά τα ίσα δικαιώματα για τις γυναίκες και τα κορίτσια σε όλη την Ελλάδα και παγκοσμίως. Η υποστήριξη κυμαίνεται από την ίση πρόσβαση στην εκπαίδευση και την ενεργό συμμετοχή έως την ενίσχυση των δεξιοτήτων στον επιχειρηματικό τομέα.
Στο πλαίσιο του έργου HARP (Harmonizing Protection Practices in Greece), πολυάριθμες δραστηριότητες της ASB στοχεύουν στην άρση των φραγμών μεταξύ των φύλων και στην προώθηση της μεγαλύτερης συμμετοχής στις κοινωνικές διαδικασίες.

Our Story

The “Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Deutschland (ASB)” is a German aid and welfare organization with more than 300 branches at national, regional, district and municipal level all over Germany. More than 1.2 million members provide a broad social basis for our organization and more than 20,000 employees as well as over 17,000 volunteers form part of the ASB ensuring a high level of quality in areas such as rescue services, civil protection and social services. Since its foundation in 1888, the ASB has acted as a politically and denominationally independent association ensuring a high level of continuity and reliability.

ASB Foreign Aid Department provides both direct emergency relief to people hit by man-made or natural disasters and longer-term rehabilitation measures designed to promote recovery and to rapidly help restore the livelihood of refugees, internally displaced persons and other vulnerable people. ASB currently has a portfolio of more than 50 relief, rehabilitation, development and DRR projects in countries like Niger, Nicaragua, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia, Nepal, Haiti, Georgia, Ukraine, Iraq and Greece.

ASB started its activities in Greece in March 2016, focusing on the provision of Humanitarian Aid to refugees/migrants. In 2017 ASB Greece has built the technical facilities and shelters for the Diavata camp and it is currently operating the Site Management Support (SMS) role at this site. Through our partners WAHA and ARSIS, ASB also supports the provision of health and protection services towards refugees and migrants in Greece. In 2018 ASB expects to continue providing these services, possibly at more locations throughout Greece. Our main donor is DG ECHO, but we have also received funds from the German Foreign Ministry and own private donations. The ASB country office is based in Thessaloniki.
