Support humanitarian emergency response!

About CADUS

CADUS is a non-profit and independent aid organisation with headquarters in Berlin and regional offices in Northern Iraq and Northeast Syria. In our projects we focus on innovation, sustainability, and the development of needs-based local capacities. We work where hardly any other aid organisations are active or where they have withdrawn. Cooperation with local partners is particularly important to us. Together we work on solutions; innovations are made available to the public.

You can find out more about our work on Twitter, Facebook, Betterplace, Youtube, Instagram and here:

News

There are people where you can tell right away that they are truly passionate about what they do. This is the case with Muhammed, our newest employee in Iraq. Talking to him, it quickly becomes apparent that humanitarian work is his passion.

While parts of Germany have been hit by massive rain floods in recent weeks and are now facing the consequences of this destructive force, an opposite catastrophe has been unfolding in northeastern Syria in recent months - water is more than scarce and countless people have been cut off from their electricity and drinking water supplies.

The last open border crossing between Turkey and northern Syria is extended for one year, relief supplies can continue to be delivered to the northwest. 3.2 million people can thus be supplied for another 12 months. What happens afterthose 12 months is still uncertain.

Destination country/region: Northeast Syria

Period: from March 2019

We operate a field hospital in the al-Hol refugee camp in northeastern Syria. The supply situation for the approximately 70,000 residents in the camp, designed for 20,000 people, is desolate. We support the local health structures in providing care for the camp.

 

 

Target country/region: Northeast Syria, Tal Tamr

Period: October 20 - July 21

To address the shortage of masks in Syria, we produce masks locally and distribute them, along with flyers and training, to the population in Tal Tamr and surrounding areas.

Destination country/region: Northeast Syria, al-Hol Camp

Period: from March 2019

By setting up and financing an emergency call center (Operation Desk) together with our partner organization, the Kurdish Red Crescent, we were able to significantly improve coordination between medical facilities and with hospitals inside and outside the camp. As a result, patients are treated more quickly at the appropriate health center and their resources are used more effectively and efficiently.
