We help here and now - worldwide

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.

In case of an emergency ASB helps as quickly as possible and as long as necessary. In order to further strengthen its response capacities, ASB is building up Emergency Response Teams – the First Assistance Samaritan Teams (FAST).

Quality, effectiveness, efficiency and transparency are of utmost importance when implementing aid projects.

ASB stands up for the needs and requirements of persons with disability in disaster risk reduction worldwide during the 5th Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Cancun, Mexico.

The First Assistance Samaritan Team (FAST), which is responsible for fast-track aid during crisis abroad, is the first group in Europe to be certified as Emergency Medical Team (EMT) 1 by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

ASB Foreign Aid is helping people after natural as well as man made disasters. We save lives, help to build back better and engage in disaster risk reduction as well as disability inclusive disaster preparedness. Learn more about our projects.
