Why Cuba needs help
Cuba finds itself in a deep social and economic crisis. Severe shortages of food, medicine, and electricity define daily life. For many families, access to basic foodstuffs and essential medication is no longer a given.
Behind this situation are real people — elderly, children and families who need support.
What are we doing?
Direct help where it's needed most
Dish distribution
Food and medicine go directly to families who need it most.
Local cooperation
We work with local co-ordinators who know the situation on the ground.
Transparent spending
Every euro is accounted for and deployed on a project-by-project basis. No overhead.
Help for today — perspective for tomorrow
In addition to acute emergency aid, we support small-scale educational initiatives. We believe that lasting improvement can only arise when people are given the opportunity to learn and develop.
