Welcome to ASCEND e.V.

Human and fair living conditions?

We believe it is possible. For everyone. Everywhere.

Let us tackle global challenges together!

who we are

Our non-profit organisation 'Association for Sustainable Community Enacted Development e. V.', or simply ASCEND, was founded in Hannover, Germany, by a group of global citizens who perceive local problems in vulnerable areas as global challenges and want to take action to support a sustainable way of living for all human beings.

what we want

We aim to focus on local problems in endangered regions of our world as challenges. With our experiences and knowledge, we want to take action to ensure humane living conditions for every human being on earth on the long rum.

May we introduce? CliManGrow, our new project! - 07/11/2024

A lot has been going on behind the scenes...

...and our new project is already in the starting blocks. This time it's about reforesting mangroves to stabilise the coastal regions in Bangladesh. Together with our partner organisation RUPSA, we are planning to plant 25,000 mangroves in Dacope to counteract climate change. Want to know more? Take a look at the Project page!

Update JAGORAN Project - 03/09/2023

Awareness Raising Workshops with the girls

While the construction work surrounding the new sanitary facilities and waste management for our JAGORAN project are in full swing, our partner organisation organised awareness raising workshops for the girls studying at the college. In four sessions, they learned about all three components of our project: menstrual hygiene, waste, and water management.

By organising such workshops, we make sure that the girls are involved in the whole project, and know how to handle the new facilities. Like that, the project is both more sustainable and more public-involving - aspects that we highly value at ASCEND!
