THANK YOU – our review of 2024
Thanks to your support, we were once again able to achieve a great deal in 2024! Your donations and commitment have helped countless people in need - THANK YOU for being part of our caravan!
The genesis
In September 2020, travel photographer Pascal Violo made a mark of humanity: at the time, he didn’t know that his commitment was contagious. Because his impulse to help the people in the refugee camp Kara Tepe on Lesbos (Greece) also motivated many others to do their part and so a caravan was created in the middle of Austria. Namely that of humanity.
Our pillars of action
The three pillars of the KARAWANE’s impact are monetary donations, relief goods and joie de vivre. Because on site, professional clowns, acrobats and artists distribute the donations and put a smile on the faces of people in need with their extraordinary performances. For our support team, it is the best thing to be able to experience people so happy and detached from their difficult everyday life.
Our projects
The CARAVAN OF HUMANITY travels to various projects in and around Europe to help refugees in need with donations of money, relief supplies and a zest for life.
Help for the shepherd people of the Afar / Ethiopia
In mid-February 2023, the Karawanis Pascal, Bruno and Caso were in Ethiopia to support the Afar pastoralist people there and at the same time directly combat the causes of flight.
Help for refugees in Kurdistan/Iraq
Our last aid project took our 12-member aid team to the north of Iraq, more precisely to Kurdistan. More than 2 million refugees live there. Most of them are internally displaced persons.
Help for refugees in Calais/France
Refugees have to endure terrible conditions in the north of France. In November 22, a Caravan relief team traveled to the site to help.
Help for orphans in Lebanon
Thousands of refugee orphans live in the small country of Lebanon. The caravan finances urgently needed relief supplies and supports school projects.
Help for Kara Tepe/Greece
Inhumane conditions prevail in the Kara Tepe refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. The caravan helps with monetary and material donations and gives hope.
Help for Casa Sankara/Italy
In the south of Italy, the caravan supports the showcase project "Casa Sankara", which fights against the exploitation of migrants in Italian agriculture.
Help for Bihac/Bosnia
Thousands of people get stuck trying to escape in the Bosnian-Croatian border town of Bihac. In February, the caravan travels to the area again to help people in need.
