Our help for children in need

Rescue from drowning

Our rescue ships carry special children’s life jackets to ensure the safety of children. In the event of an evacuation, the children are brought to safety by our lifeboats first.

Fresh clothes

During their flight in unseaworthy boats, their clothes are often soaked by salt water and leaking petrol. Survivors can wash themselves on board and fresh clothes are also available.

Food and drink

Some of those seeking protection have to endure days on their boats without food or water. It is a disgrace for Europe that children have died of thirst in the Mediterranean because they did not get help in time.

Medical care

The rescued people have usually not had access to medical care for a long time. On board our rescue ships, they are treated in a sickbay by a medical team in cooperation with our partner organisation German Doctors.

Shelters

On board the SEA-EYE 4, specially equipped containers with beds provide a safe haven for children and their families after their often traumatic escape.

Playing on board

During the crossing to a place of safety, the crew puts a smile on the children’s faces, at least briefly, by painting, reading, playing board games and singing. Little things like modelling clay also bring joy and distraction.

Donation receipt

Your donation is tax deductible.

For donations up to € 300 you do not need a donation receipt. To make your donation tax-deductible, your bank statement in conjunction with our confirmation of the donation is sufficient for the tax office.

We send the donation receipts to permanent donors after the end of the year.
