Supporters

As a donation-financed search and rescue organisation, the presence and work of SOS Humanity is based on solidarity from partner organisations and various supporters. We would not be able to carry out our life-saving missions in the Mediterranean and our advocacy and educational work without their financial support. We wholeheartedly thank our partners and supporters for their engagement and for standing by our side as we demand more humanity at sea and on land!

Support from national and international aid organisations and foundations

Our work receives great support from member organisations of the alliance “Aktion Deutschland Hilft”: ADRA Deutschland e.V., Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), Handicap International, Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V. and the Central Welfare Organisation of Jews in Germany (ZWST) are involved in the “Aktion Deutschland Hilft” consortium project. SOS Children’s Villages Worldwide exclusively supports the care work for women and children that is provided on board of our rescue ship.

We moreover benefit from partnerships with United4Rescue – Gemeinsam Retten e.V., UN Refugee Aid Germany, AWO International, as well as Choose Love, Libraries Without Borders and Pharmacists Without Borders. We would also like to thank the Deutsche Postcode Lotterie and the Global Whole Being Fund for their significant contributions. These organisations enable us to save lives and draw attention to the fate of those rescued. Their support further reinforces our demand for unhindered rescue of people in distress at sea.

In addition, grants and fundraising campaigns by cities, municipalities and dioceses help to support our life-saving missions. In recent years, we have been supported by the city of Munich, the city of Oldenburg, Seebrücke Angermünde/Uckermark, Seebrücke Oldenburg, the city of Angermünde and the city of Braunschweig.
