Donate cryptocurrencies

Sea-Watch has been active in the central Mediterranean 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 rescue operations as long as people have to risk their lives in search of safety.

Now you have another way to support our life-saving work in the central Mediterranean: donate cryptocurrencies via Coinbase or BitPay!
