How we help

We help where we are needed. We provide immediate humanitarian aid to people affected by war or natural disasters. In development cooperation, we help people get on their feet and earn a living. We focus on health and social care development, environmental protection and work on systemic change.

Humanitarian aid

Humanitarian aid is crucial during natural disasters and war conflicts. In crises, we focus primarily on providing basic needs such as food, water and shelter

Development cooperation

Development cooperation aims to help people get back on their feet and get a source of livelihood. We are also working on systemic changes in healthcare, social services and environmental protection.
