Cap Anamur / Deutsche Not-Ärzte e.V.

Cap Anamur / Deutsche Not-Ärzte e.V. is a German humanitarian aid organization that has been providing unconditional humanitarian emergency aid worldwide since its founding in 1979 by Rupert Neudeck and his wife Christel Neudeck, along with other supporters.

The organization focuses on several key areas:

• Medical Emergency Aid: Cap Anamur provides medical care in crisis regions, after natural disasters, and in various emergency situations. This includes the provision of medications, the rehabilitation or reconstruction of hospitals and health stations, as well as the training and education of local medical personnel[2][3][4].
• Education and Infrastructure: In addition to medical care, the organization is involved in the construction and renovation of schools and other important infrastructure facilities[2][3][4].
• Refugee Care and Disaster Relief: Cap Anamur provides assistance to refugees and people in need by supplying drinking water, food, hygiene products, clothing, and technical equipment[4].

The main mission of Cap Anamur is based on the principle of "help for self-help." The organization aims to assist people in need quickly and without bureaucracy, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or political affiliation. The focus is on strengthening the initiative of the local population and providing sustainable support in crisis regions[2][3].

Cap Anamur emphasizes sustainable aid that goes beyond immediate intervention. The projects are designed to be handed over to the local population quickly to ensure long-term independence. This includes building functioning local structures and training local personnel so that the projects can continue even after the withdrawal of German staff[2][3].

The organization primarily finances its operations through private donations. In 2022, total revenues amounted to 4.805 million euros, with about 93% of the donation funds going directly to the projects. Cap Anamur is known for its efficient and transparent use of donation funds and holds the DZI donation seal, which confirms low administrative and advertising costs[2][4].

Cap Anamur operates in around 60 countries worldwide, including crisis regions in the Middle East, North Korea, Central and West Africa, as well as in Europe. The organization has evolved from a regionally limited rescue operation for Vietnamese refugees to a globally active aid organization that offers a wide range of humanitarian services[1][2][3].
