DIGNITY in FOCUS – Localised humanitarian assistance
People affected by conflict, crises and natural disasters should be empowered and able to provide for their own needs and, wherever possible, to make their own choices about their lives and future. When they are unable to provide for their own needs, they should be able to express those needs to others, who can provide support. Our work is rooted in the fundamental principles of mutual respect and accountability. How we deliver humanitarian assistance, therefore, should be at least as important as what we deliver.
We restore the life and hope of people in dignity.
We empower our partners.
Together, we invest in preparedness, response and resilience.
For this we spent 105 million euros in 2023:
In 2023, we were active in 39 countries in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
In 119 projects we provided emergency relief, supported people with reconstruction and carried out disaster risk education.
