Unsere Geschichte.
February 2026
Full-time
Lesvos
Im Jahr 2020 brachte die COVID-19-Pandemie die Welt zum Stillstand. Wir hielten Abstand, blieben in der Sicherheit unseres Zuhauses und schützten uns. Nicht jeder hatte dieses Privileg. An den europäischen Grenzen waren Lager wie Moria auf Lesbos überfüllt – über 20.000 Menschen auf der Flucht waren dem Virus ausgesetzt, gefangen unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen, und nur wenige schienen sich darum zu kümmern.
​
Wir haben diese Initiative gestartet, weil wir den im Lager „Moria“ Eingeschlossenen eine Botschaft der Solidarität senden wollten, indem wir zunächst selbstgemachte Masken herstellten und sammelten. Menschen aus dem ganzen Kontinent trugen dazu bei, von Schülern in Deutschland über Feuerwehrleute in Barcelona bis hin zu Großmüttern in Italien. Uns wurde jedoch klar, dass unsere Arbeit zwar eine nette Geste war, aber Gesten allein nicht ausreichten. Menschenrechte wurden täglich verletzt und das Versagen unserer Politik war inakzeptabel.
​
Deshalb starteten wir 2021 unser erstes Projekt auf Lesbos, um die Gemeinschaft direkt zu unterstützen. Wir begannen mit der Verteilung von Kleidung und Hygieneartikeln an Menschen auf der Flucht. Von unserem Hub in Frankfurt aus entsandten wir über 20 LKWs mit humanitärer Hilfe nach Lesbos, Nordfrankreich, auf den Balkan und in die Ukraine.
