The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Deutschland e.V. (ASB) - Project Activities
ASB has been implementing humanitarian interventions in Ukraine since 2014. During 2014-2018, the project activities for internally displaced persons were implemented in close cooperation with ASB’s local partner, Samaritan Union of Ukraine (SSU). In 2016 ASB opened a representative office in Ukraine with an aim to coordinate the relief operations. Currently ASB has offices in Kyiv and Lviv. Since 2018, ASB’s humanitarian activities have focused on the 5-kilometer zone along the ‘contact line’ (government-controlled areas of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts). ASB supported vulnerable categories of the conflict-affected populations with food, hygiene and winterization assistance. The project activities are funded by the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2024 and 2025, the organization continues its activities, covering the beneficiaries of Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv and another regions with help of various projects and different donors.
ASB is distributing food and hygiene kits to conflict-affected people in the frontline areas of Donetsk and Kharkiv regions and providing cash to internally displaced people (IDPs) living in the central regions of Ukraine (Vinnytsia and Khmelnytskyi regions) to cover basic needs, ensure stable livelihoods, and improve conditions during the winter
