The people behind Cap Anamur

Our team in individual portraits

There is one point on which we all agree:

Working for Cap Anamur abroad: a very special experience.

All those who work at Cap Anamur are united by the common desire to help people in need and to support projects in crisis regions – with experience and passion.

In their respective profiles, some of us report on our work with Cap Anamur. In addition to professional and personal motivation, many different personal and emotional insights and experiences are shared. And also many a description of formative encounters on site.
