ASB Foreign Aid

With its first mission abroad in 1921, Foreign Aid became a major component of the organisation. Humanitarian and democratic principles form the basis of our activities at home and abroad.

Lassen Sie uns das Jubiläum gemeinsam feiern und kommen Sie mit uns auf eine Zeitreise. Wir nehmen Sie mit in das Jahr 1921, in dem der ASB mit seinem ersten humanitären Auslandshilfseinsatz in Russland Menschen vor dem Hungertod bewahrte. Schauen Sie mit uns zurück auf weitere Meilensteine: die Hilfe des ASB auf dem Balkan im Jahr 1991, den Einsatz im September 2004 nach dem Tsunami in Südostasien und dem schweren Erdbeben in Haiti im Januar 2010. Auf unserer Zeitreise erfahren Sie auch mehr über die Internationalen Samariterkooperationen und unser FAST-Team, unser Schnelleinsatzteam im Ausland.
