The German Red Cross is a member of the global community of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, providing help without discrimination to the victims of conflicts and disasters and others in need. The German Red Cross is active in numerous missions concerning emergency response, rehabilitation after disaster, and development projects.

Challenge

The humanitarian aid of the German Red Cross knows no boundaries. No matter where our help is needed: Whether there are floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics or armed conflicts - we will help those in need. Thanks to your support we can help immediately when the need arises - in Germany and in the whole world.

Long-Term Impact

Besides emergency relief, it is our objective to sustainably strengthen people and structures so that they are better prepared for crises. Disaster preparedness exercises, an early warning system, a functioning rescue service all these factors can save lives when, for example, the next flood or a cyclone approaches. In long term development cooperation, disaster preparedness, health, nutrition, water, hygiene and securing livelihoods are paramount.
