Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes: natural disasters can change everything within seconds. The poorest are often hit the hardest. In places, where economic hardship and hunger have prevailed before, the situation often gets worse.
In order to alleviate peoples' suffering, German relief organisations joined forces in 2001 to form Germany's Relief Coalition.
Since then, we have been able to implement more than 2,000 aid projects and to give new hope to millions of people – jointly, quickly and in a coordinated manner. In addition, by implementing measures of disaster risk reduction, we prevent suffering before it happens. This help would not be possible without donors like you!
The main reasons for donating to Germany's Relief Coalition:

- Over 20 Relief Organisations – one alliance: Our coordinated emergency aid is fast and efficient.
- Disaster Risk Reduction – joint way forward: Disaster risk reduction prevents suffering before it happens.
- Together we can help faster: We use your donation where help is urgently needed.
- Great donation, great effect: Your donation makes a difference and gives new hope to people in need.

Effectively reacting to a crisis is good. Being well prepared is even better.
Unser 20-jähriges Jubiläum möchten wir dazu nutzen, die Widerstandsfähigkeit in den Ländern zu erhöhen, die immer wieder von verheerenden Katastrophen betroffen sind: Neben unseren wichtigen Noteinsätzen soll auch die Katastrophenvorsorge ausgebaut werden. Ziel ist es, Menschen die Chance zu geben, sich im Katastrophenfall rechtzeitig in Sicherheit zu bringen und diejenigen besser zu schützen, die der Bedrohung am stärksten ausgesetzt sind. Unsere Mitgliedsorganisationen sind bereit – ob für die Einrichtung von Frühwarnsystemen und Evakuierungstrainings, den Bau von Schutzräumen für die Bevölkerung oder Maßnahmen zur besseren Anpassung an den Klimawandel. Die Umsetzung von Maßnahmen zur Anpassung an Klimaveränderungen und der Schutz vor Naturkatastrophen erfordern ein Startkapital von mindestens 10 Millionen Euro. Für eine solch enorme Investition ist Aktion Deutschland Hilft auf Ihre großzügige Unterstützung angewiesen. Nur mit Ihnen gemeinsam können wir wirksame Vorsorgemaßnahmen realisieren – und der nächsten Katastrophe zuvorkommen.
Achieve something great with a great donation!
Our alliance extends measures of disaster risk reduction worldwide. Particularly in countries that are repeatedly affected by disasters. With your generous donation, you can make a great difference – and help save lives!
Jeder Euro, der heute für Vorsorge ausgegeben wird, spart morgen ein Vielfaches in der akuten Nothilfe.
We cannot prevent disasters. However, by taking precautions, we can save many lives and ensure that families are better prepared.
Together, we can be faster than the disaster. Your support will make the difference!
The time to help is now: Get started with us!
After an earthquake, a tsunami, or a hurricane, every second counts. Let us not waste time: If we act together today, we can prevent great suffering tomorrow.
For example in ...
- Zimbabwe: Smallholders learn farming methods that are adapted to the current climate. Furthermore, drought-resistant seeds protect against hunger and malnutrition.
- Vietnam: Volunteers reforest the coastal mangrove forests together with local fishermen. The mangrove trees reduce the impact of storm waves and give people more time to find shelter.
- Jordan: In the capital Amman growing food is difficult. Rooftop gardens become a suitable alternative – and greenery protects against heat and cold.
- Mexico: A digital platform enables local relief organisations to coordinate humanitarian aid.
- Bangladesh: Hygiene kits and information about COVID-19 prevent the disease from spreading in the world's largest refugee camp.
