The EMPOWERED project represents an innovative initiative dedicated to advancing social inclusion and empowering marginalized groups across the Western Balkans. In a region where the need for inclusive development is significant, EMPOWERED strives to create lasting change and improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable members of society.
Leading the implementation of this pivotal project is ASB South East Europe (Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund), an organization recognized for its committed work in humanitarian aid and social justice. With a long history of operations, ASB has become synonymous with expertise and dedication in addressing complex societal challenges.
ASB holds a leading position in the field of social inclusion in the Western Balkans, with a profound commitment to creating equal opportunities for all. Their mission encompasses providing support to the most vulnerable segments of society through a wide range of programs and initiatives. These programs are designed to ensure improved access to education, employment, and social services, which are fundamental pillars of any inclusive society.
What further distinguishes ASB in their work is their ability to integrate innovative approaches and methods. This includes close collaboration with local communities, state institutions, and other civil society organizations. Through such partnerships, ASB ensures that solutions are relevant, sustainable, and tailored to the specific needs of the region.
Through the EMPOWERED project, ASB aims to achieve long-term changes and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals and groups who are often marginalized and excluded from social processes. By striving to address the root causes of inequality, the EMPOWERED project, under the leadership of ASB South East Europe, sets new standards in the field of social inclusion in the Western Balkans.
