Senseless bloodshed – the civil war in Ethiopia
A bloody civil war raged in northern Ethiopia until November 2022. So this ended only a few months before our arrival.
A place of hope: the maternity ward in Mile
Once upon a time, the Afar region was at the top of the world. Unfortunately, in a negative sense: it was one of the regions with the highest maternal mortality rates in the world ...
When water is scarce…
Here in the Afar region, there is one acute concern above all: water! Far too little of this has simply fallen from the sky in recent months.
The white Afar
We also worked with a partner organization in Ethiopia: The name of this organization is APDA and it supports the pastoralist and nomadic people of the Afar.
Tackling the root causes of flight
Until now, only a few people knew that: In mid-February, the Karawanis Pascal, Bruno and Caso traveled to Ethiopia to support the pastoralist Afar people there. But why Ethiopia?

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 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 war orphans from Syria
We support two orphanages in Syria and Turkey, where children live who lost their parents in the terrible war of recent years.
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.
