Where the money goes

These are the organisations we checked for this area. Not picked by name recognition but by transparency: legal form, registered office, year founded, transparency credential and how funds were used in the last published annual report. Where something stood out to us, it is stated.

Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V.

Not yet committed

Legal form
Registered association
Based in
Bonn
Founded
1981
Transparency
DZI seal since 1992
Use of funds
93 % project expenditure (2025)

Founded in 1981 as a Bundestag initiative for Afghan refugees. The name is the programme: emergency relief is turned into reconstruction as quickly as possible, so that a camp does not become permanent. At 93 per cent project expenditure, one of the leanest organisations in the field.

Example project

Versorgung sudanesischer Geflüchteter · Tschad

Shelter, water and basic supplies for people fleeing Sudan into eastern Chad – into a region that is itself among the poorest in the world.

Registered association

Dresden
Founded

Transparency
DZI seal of approval
Use of funds
3,35 % advertising and administration (2023)

In emergency relief arche noVa plays to its specialism: after a disaster, drinking water is the first thing missing and cholera the first consequence. The teams bring treatment units and sanitation into areas where supply has collapsed.

Example project

Wasser-Nothilfe · wechselnde Einsatzgebiete

Mobile water treatment and sanitation in acute crises – the part of emergency relief that prevents epidemics before they start.

humedica keeps medical response teams on call within hours – doctors, nurses and logisticians whose main jobs are elsewhere. That structure is why the organisation is often among the first on site after earthquakes and cyclones.

Example project

Medizinische Soforteinsätze · weltweit

Deploying emergency teams and mobile clinics after earthquakes, cyclones and floods – in the first days, when survival chances are decided.
