Our work

The aim of our work is to help people in crisis and disaster areas. The focus here is on logistics, regardless of whether it is about taking care of those in need or transporting people and animals. We want to implement everything that we can do with our vehicles to support people, no matter what the crisis, no matter what the disaster.

Essentially, we focus on getting relief supplies quickly and effectively and transporting them to those in need. Communication is the most important thing. We call collection points, look out for offers on social networks and ask dealers for donations in kind. We fill up free capacity in our vehicles by buying things that are still missing in wholesale markets.

Although the core area already means a lot of organization, there are things that can have a supplementary effect here. That is why we also try to draw up lists of requirements, either together with other organizations or ourselves. If necessary, we help with the organization of camp sites, organize accommodation if necessary, and bring people and animals to a safe place.

Using the example of the (refugee) situation at the beginning of the war in Ukraine:

Procurement of vehicles, which we are provided free of charge or at low cost.

Advertising on social media to get other drivers, donations in kind or money (keyword: refueling), which are urgently needed.

Procurement of relief supplies (depending on needs, animal sanctuaries, hospitals, refugee homes and Ukrainian organizations have already been supplied) and purchase of other necessary goods, as far as they are needed.

Trips to the port of call and unloading. On the way back, the vacated seats in the cars were made available to fugitives, for whom accommodation was organized on the return journey.

General information

Our association does not want to use donations to support itself. Therefore, the membership fees are set in such a way that we can cover our fixed costs exclusively with the membership fees or earmarked donations.

As a non-profit association, we are subject to regulations which oblige us to ensure that the income is also used directly for the purpose of the statutes. In addition, the proportion of expenses for the fulfillment of the purpose of the statute must be higher than the expenses for administration or - for example - fundraising.

Further information and information for certification by Transparency International

The information provided above is intended to give you an idea of who we are and to be as sure as possible that your contributions or donations are in good hands with us and won't stay there for long. We do everything we can to ensure that the donations benefit the purpose in accordance with the statutes, meaningfully and purposefully.

To offer a little more security, we are working towards certification by Transparency International. We would also like to work towards further certifications such as the DZI donation seal (in the case of the DZI seal, however, we must first have been active for 2 full financial years).

For certification by Transparency International, we have committed ourselves to making this information available in summary (currently, as of July 25th, 2022, the transparency report, which is necessary for points 5, 7 and 8, is missing). This will be made available as soon as possible , but for that we have to complete the next convoys):

1) Name, address, year of foundation of the organization: here

2) Full charter, objectives and how to achieve them: here

3) Information on the notice of exemption: here

4) Name and function of key decision-makers: here

5) Report on activities: here
