Appeal for donations: Help for refugee families in Cyprus
The next caravan project is just around the corner and we can only implement it with your help: In October, we will be traveling to Cyprus to support families stranded in Cyprus during their flight.
Every day, dozens of refugees reach the small island of Cyprus by being rescued from overcrowded boats in the Mediterranean.
Most of them are families with young children who have fled the war in Syria.
In 2024, Cyprus took in the most refugees in Europe compared to the size of its population; there are currently 30,000 refugees on the island.
And the number of people seeking protection is growing daily, but there are hardly any aid organizations on the ground to improve the situation of these people.
KARAWANE DER MENSCHLICHKEIT will therefore be traveling to Cyprus in October to provide important emergency aid directly in the crisis area.
You can support our work with donations in kind and/or monetary donations.
If as many people as possible make a small contribution, great things can be achieved and the need in Cyprus can be alleviated. Let’s set an example of humanity together!
