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.

Climate change is no doubt one of the biggest threats that humankind is facing at the moment. It is no longer an agenda of only environmental organisations. Climate and its changes are affecting all of us – developed countries, who take the biggest piece of responsibility for the current climate change happening, as well as developing countries who suffer the most from climate change.
