Sea-Watch has been active in the central Mediterranean Sea since 2015, rescuing people in distress at sea and standing in solidarity with people on the move. To date, we have been involved in the rescue of over 45,000 people.
We will not stop rescuing as long as people have to risk their lives in search of safety.
With your corporate donation, you will help us to finance further rescue operations at the deadliest border in the world!

We review your company to ensure alignment with our values and principles. Based on this, we do not accept donations from certain industries. Additionally, we decline donations from companies, foundations, or associations whose activities contradict our values and principles.
With €500, we can provide 17 individuals with a new set of clothing: a warm sweater, pants, a T-shirt, socks, and underwear.
With €3,000, you can cover the medical treatment for 12 individuals suffering from chemical burns. These burns are common and result from a mixture of gasoline and seawater.
With €10,000, we can lease three lifeboats for one year for our new ship. Each lifeboat has the capacity to rescue up to 60 people from drowning.
With €150,000, we can deploy our reconnaissance aircraft, Seabird, up to 20 times a month. This supports rescue operations and documents human rights violations.

We review each corporate donation for its source and alignment with our principles and values. Depending on the donation amount, an appropriate internal review process is conducted based on defined criteria. In line with our principles, we do not accept donations from certain industries, such as the arms and defense sectors.
This also applies to foundations and associations associated with these rejected industries. Additionally, we do not accept donations from companies whose activities contradict our values and principles, regardless of the industry, and we decline any form of cooperation.
