10 years search and rescue

On Course

for Solidarity

Thousands of people flee across the Central Mediterranean every year. Europe’s response: closed doors. Our response: rescue! For a decade, we have been part of the civil fleet working to ensure that no one fleeing has to drown. We rescue, protect, testify and bring about change – together with a committed civil society that tirelessly supports us.

Current political developments are making our work increasingly difficult, and Europe’s externalisation policy is costing lives every day. We cannot and will not stand by and watch. We are committed to a course on solidarity! Come on board and support us now with your donation – so that no one fleeing has to drown! 

Every life counts - donate now!

The more people support us on our #CourseOnSolidarity, the more awareness we can raise about the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean and at the same time counteract the spread of false narratives and right-wing propaganda. 

Join us: Together, we are looking ahead with determination and are committed to helping people in need and to a Europe of humanitarian values and human rights.
