Helping people in Bhutan | ASB Foreign Aid
Bhutan is located on the eastern side of the Himalayas, nestled in the mountains. It is a very small and poor country, struggling more and more often with natural disasters such as landslides, floods, earthquakes and droughts. The ASB cooperates with the local partner organisation “READ Bhutan”. The aim of the joint projects is to minimise the impact of disasters and crises on the people of Bhutan and to create inclusive and sustainable livelihoods in order to improve the quality of life of the population.

Preparing for disasters
In Bhutan and Nepal, the ASB supports communities in identifying and managing the risks and challenges of natural disasters. In doing so, we ensure that the concerns of all groups affected are taken into account and that measures are taken to ensure that no one is left behind. The ASB also educates people with disabilities and the elderly about their rights under the existing social security system and helps to break down barriers to participation.
