Protection and Empowerment of Vulnerable Groups

In line with the SDGs, we have made meaningful progress in alleviating poverty and enhancing food security within migrant communities and other vulnerable populations.
Additionally, sustainable development requires more structural and programmatic modalities while individual interventions remain to be at the core of our work.

By forming strategic partnerships with both governmental and non-governmental organizations, we develop comprehensive initiatives that tackle poverty, access to education, gender equality, and food insecurity on a larger scale.

Safety and Security

In the area of health, we have successfully promoted healthy lifestyles within vulnerable communities. This involves collaborating with healthcare providers and policy-makers to create programs that foster health and well-being across all groups facing challenges.
Quality and inclusive education, decreasing the “Youth not in Employment, Education or Training” (NEET) rates in the areas where ASAM is operational, providing skills development and employment opportunities have always been integral to our work to ensure access to decent work and economic growth, primarily focusing on refugees and asylum seekers. Recognizing the universal value of these programs, we provide these programs in an inclusive manner, aiming to equip a broader demography with the skills they need for sustainable employment and economic self-reliance.

Efforts to reduce inequalities in line with the Sustainable Development indicators are among the core works of ASAM, encompassing all vulnerable groups who are left the furthest behind. With the high urbanization rates around the world, the benefits and challenges of this trend are taken into account from a social manner, in coordination with other stakeholders who are working on the infrastructural dimensions of sustainable development. To increase the advantages of urbanization and to reduce the inequalities in urban areas, social sustainability, economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and spatial sustainability are intended to be addressed in line with the New Urban Agenda published by UN Habitat.

ASAM is Building the Future

Leveraging its 30 years of experience, ASAM strives to extend SDGs to larger groups and develop more inclusive solutions. While doing so, gender equality and women empowerment remains at the core of all operations. Through all the other programs and interventions that ASAM conducts, ASAM ensures that the organization contributes to the SDG 5 and 10 through both individual level and structural changes in line with the ‘Leave-No-One-Behind’ principle. Through projects that support economic, social, spatial and environmental sustainability, it contributes to a more equitable, livable, and resilient future.
