Welcome to Arbeiter Samariter Bund!
ASB IndiaASB Asia works primarily to assist and promote the rehabilitation and development of displaced and vulnerable populations who have been adversely affected by natural disaster, armed conflict and the incidence of extreme poverty. ASB adopts a one-country approach and is committed to working with local communities and their partner organizations to secure effective, lasting and participatory solutions to rehabilitation and development.

ASB is a proud to be a founding member of Action Deutschland Hilft ADH, who fundraised more than €120,000,000 for consortium members for post-tsunami relief and rehabilitation activities in Asia. ASB maintains a post-tsunami programme support unit in the ADH Liaison Office in Colombo. ADH members implementing posttsunami projects in Sri Lanka include the Solidar INGO Consortium of Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA), Schweizerissches Arbeiternilfswerk (SAH) and ASB Sri Lanka.

A founding member of the Solidar Network in Europe, ASB Sri Lanka has been instrumental in creating the Solidar INGO Consortium in Sri Lanka. Leveraging the established strengths and competencies of each member organization, the consortium has developed a joint-implementation approach to post-tsunami reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in the North-East of the country and has pioneered new levels of close cooperation and collaboration at the programmatic level. Based on pragmatism, trust and mutual reciprocity, individual consortium partners work to achieve their own organizational mandates while working to common programme goals. This arrangement has created powerful synergies that increase overall programme performance and deliver significant cost-savings. It also provides opportunities for other members of the network to channel funds and technical assistance into projects.
