#StrongerTogether
Whether in Ukraine, Iran, Afghanistan or at Europe’s external borders: In many places, far too many people are suffering. Despite the challenging times in Germany, we want to ensure that other people in need are not forgotten and show what cohesion looks like.
To do this, we are bringing together 40 aid organizations. They evacuate, supply, advise and protect. They save lives or enforce human rights; they pick up where crises are felt most acutely. And now they need you.
Because these organizations not only have in common that they do incredibly good work, unfortunately they share another commonality: they lack funds to continue their work, which saves lives every day.
Now it’s up to us to make solidarity concrete! For each project, we launched a fundraising campaign. Our goal is to raise the money for each organization by Christmas. We get support for this from our celebrity patrons. But to succeed, we need you!

How does #StrongerTogether work?
Together, we provide solidarity in difficult times. To this end, we confront disinformation with facts and promote empathy with the people in Ukraine, Iran and refugees. In order to achieve this, we will collect donations for various projects that do something against the grievances on site. We already have the support of over 60 celebrities for this.
The best thing about it is that we distribute the money to where it is needed most. When you donate money to a project, one half of the donation goes directly to that project. The other half then goes to other projects that would otherwise go empty-handed. 35% of it goes to those who are already part of the #StrongerTogether campaign and whose collections are not doing so well. With the remaining 15%, we will support projects that are in particularly urgent need of support right now, but are not yet part of the campaign.
This is how #StrongerTogether works
Projects selection
Netzwerk Ziviler Krisenstab
By uniting the committed civilian population, the Netzwerk Ziviler Krisenstab brings many tons of relief supplies to Ukraine quickly and without bureaucracy. In order to help finance the construction of a children's rehabilitation center, we want to raise 15,000€.
LeaveNoOneBehind Team Greece
The LeaveNoOneBehind team on Lesvos responds quickly and efficiently to needs on the ground. For example, with a free clothing distribution for camp residents or shower containers to improve the catastrophic hygiene situation. In order to continue funding the project, we aim to raise €25,000 by Christmas.
Paréa Lesvos Community Center – Europe Cares
Paréa Lesvos provides refugees on Lesvos with an important daily retreat and various support services. The community center is run by the organization Europe Cares, which supports people fleeing at Europe's external borders and advocates for human rights. To ensure the continuity of the Community Center, which hosts over 10 NGOs, we need 25.000€.
Aegean Boat Report
Illegal pushbacks are an everyday occurrence at European borders. To take action against them, they must be well documented and collected. The Aegean Boat Report reports 24/7 on border incidents, allowing for quick assistance and monitoring of "border agents".
