The Worker`s Samaritan Federation (Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund [ASB]) operates as an aid and welfare organisation with more than 227 branches at regional, district and local level throughout Germany. More than a million people support the association by their membership, thus contributing to a broad establishment of ASB in society. Over 23,000 full-time staff as well as over 12,500 staff working as volunteers ensure quality in areas such as disaster prevention and emergency management, rescue services and social services. Since its foundation in 1888, ASB has stood for continuity and reliability as a politically and denominationally independent federation. With its first international mission in 1921, Foreign Aid was to become a firm component of the federation, with humanitarian and democratic principles forming the basis of our activities.
ASB has been working in Haiti since January 2010. With its efforts concentrated in the towns Petit Goâve and Grand Goâve, ASB is committed to an approach that seeks to link Relief, Rehabilitation and Development with a special focus on victims of the earthquake.
In response to this situation, ASB has been working in Petit Goâve and Grand Goâve to contribute to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for the past 6 years. Moving forward, ASB will expand its involvement in DRR to encompass two additional municipalities in the West and Nippes Departments as well as a wide range of activities that are divided into five main interrelated areas:
1) The construction/repair of 8 inclusive disaster resistant schools to ensure the safety of students in the event of a disaster and provide emergency shelter for the population of the catchment area.
2) The improvement of access to schools and evacuation means through the upgrade of particularly vulnerable sections of rural roads (about 10 km/ 12 critical points) to ensure that roads remain passable in case of natural disasters. - Basic skills training in safe construction practices to ensure all aspects of resilience in terms of (re-) construction of houses and social infrastructure are applied.
3) Building on ASB past successes, 250 primary schools in the school districts of Fonds des Nègres & Léogane will receive disaster preparedness refresher lessons through regular trainings and more that 125 extracurricular activities. Additionally, 367 schools in Petit Goâve, Grand Goâve, Léogane will benefit from either radio programs in schools and/or DRR extracurricular activities.
4) The establishment of school gardens in 8 selected schools as well as support of 10 previously established school gardens. Parents and students will be introduced to new crops and methods of food preservation. Additionally, ASB will support 10 community mitigation projects in support of food safety.
5) An adjusted resilience monitoring system contributes to visible impact measurement of the implemented activities to see if the required effects were reached.
Immediately after the arrival of Hurricane Matthew ASB, following damages assessments in the traditional areas and in the South, has opened an office in Saint Louis du Sud to cover the South Department and extend its country wide operation beyond the communes of Léogane, Petit Goâve, Grand Goâve in the West Department, Fonds des Nègres in the Nippes Department to the communes of Saint louis du Sud, Saint Jean du Sud and Tiburon (where Matthew entered Haiti) in the South Department.
ASB has implemented emergency response and transitional activities in all seven communes located in the three departments (West, Nippes and South): -Repair of 200 para-seismic and hurricane resistant roofs, installment of 50 water filtration systems, cash transfer for 600 vulnerable rural families, distribution of 200 food and nonfood parcels, restoration of 17 school gardens, maintenance of 250 meters of canals and rehabilitation of 700 meters of roads. Two additional damaged schools have been reconstructed and the construction of an additional 80 meters long retaining wall was implemented. Over 1800 m2 of damaged roof in 11 schools has been reconstructed or repaired in the Nippes and West Departments and the reconstruction of the 255 m2 roof of the Health Center in Tiburon completed. 325 families received tools/seeds/training to help the recovering of agricultural activities as well as 6 plants nurseries and 2 seed banks which are in the process of finalization. A gravity water catchment system was installed, and pilot toilets and hygiene promotion activities are ongoing. ASB envisions extending its on-going programs in the West and Nippes Departments into the South Department.
