Responsible action starts with project planning:
Cap Anamur relief actions are provided in different countries worldwide and are designed to be long-term. Our projects connect to possibly existing local structures and build on cooperation with the local people. Typically, projects are handed over to the population as soon as possible to be continued locally. This way our engagement remains continuously effective even after our withdrawal and new capacities are freed for our missions.

The photo was taken in the Cap Anamur project Mountain Village Judeegaun, some 60 km from Bhaktapur. There, an earthquake destroyed almost all houses of the roughly 200 families living in the village.

The last rain fell 3 years ago.

„I admire and appreciate the work, the tireless effort and the passion of the Cap Anamur/Deutsche Notärzte e.V. team, who resolutely provide help on location even when the carousel of media attention has long moved on.“
— Urban Priol, comedian
„What a story: Someone who no longer wants to consume the need of refugees as news, has an idea and starts an entire movement! Cap Anamur exists for almost my entire life and its name sounds to my ears like another word for: Looking! Acting! My heartfelt congratulations to all who are this movement and who have been helping people on location and on the run to live for 40 years! I am filled with respect!“
— Cordula Stratmann, comedian, actress, TV host and writer
„Here, donations do not seep away into a big bureaucracy, but benefit directly the genuine purpose and therefore the people. Because of this, my own experience, I since call Cap Anamur the prime example for an aid organisation.“
– Günter Wallraff, journalist and writer
„At the time when Ebola broke out, Cap Anamur did important work at the children’s hospital. For years, Cap Anamur has been helping the country. We are endlessly grateful. So many children were saved.“
— Dr. Nellie Bell, paediatric surgeon at Ola During Children’s Hospital in Sierra Leone
„We endeavour to hand over our projects only when we are certain that our support is no longer needed, but we keep in contact with those whom we know well, so that if needed, we can provide aid fast in new emergencies.“
