What we do
‘Healthcare is a human right’ – human rights are non-negotiable!
Populist and right-wing slogans and tendencies are currently on the rise in Germany and throughout Europe, especially when it comes to refugees and migration.
We are launching our information campaign in October 2024 to take a stand and inform people, because we are convinced that raising awareness of the abuses and disregard for human rights at the EU’s external borders can help to ward off right-wing tendencies. The aim is to raise awareness of humanitarian principles and the consequences of isolationist policies, with a focus on medical care for refugees.
It is important to inform about the actual situation at the external borders of the EU, such as pushbacks or the denial and impediment of access to asylum procedures, because such measures are incompatible with human rights and international refugee law. We want to encourage people to show solidarity and stand up against discrimination and racism. In the long term, this helps to promote a more democratic and human rights-orientated awareness in society, which weakens right-wing ideologies.
In our campaign, we highlight the discrepancy between the EU’s official commitments to protecting human rights and the actual practices at the borders.
This project is being realised through a nationwide poster and postcard campaign, a social media campaign and several public events (Dates coming soon here). All background texts are available in a brochure and can also be accessed via the buttons below.
The campaign has been made possible thanks to the support of the Heidehof Stiftung, GLS Treuhand and the Kirchenlicher Entwicklungsdienst der Nordkirche.

Why donate? We rely on donations to buy medical equipment, disposables and medication. We keep our overhead costs to the absolute minimum. With your support we are able to provide primary health care to displaced people where no one else does. Approximately 50% of our patients are unregistered refugees and are not eligible for local health services. This is why our work is so important!

The easiest way to help us is with a so-called “general” donation, i.e. a donation that does not have a specific purpose.
