Whether it’s earthquakes, floods, cyclones, dengue outbreaks, or armed conflicts: Through our projects, we have often witnessed firsthand what people have to endure in emergency situations. For the affected families, these events often mean the loss of their homes, their livelihoods, and access to vital medical care. It is precisely in such moments that rapid assistance can mean the difference between life and death. That is why the ability to respond quickly and without red tape to crises and disasters is a key pillar of all our projects.

To this end, we combine long-term development cooperation with humanitarian aid. Thanks to our local staff, we are already on the ground when a crisis strikes. They know the people, work closely with the authorities, and can organize medical assistance, medications, and urgently needed relief supplies within a matter of hours.

Together with local authorities, we also strengthen structures in towns and communities so they can better cope with future crises. In this way, we not only provide rapid assistance in emergencies but also build a resilient health system that gives people security, prospects, and hope in the long term.

When a disaster changes everything, your donation can save lives. With your support, you help where aid is needed most—today in emergencies and tomorrow through strong, resilient health care systems.
