Neutrality and Impartiality are central principles to maintain the trust of the affected populations. These values make it possible to help safely in conflict areas.
The DRK is committed to upholding international humanitarian law and calls for the protection of humanitarian workers worldwide. It also emphasizes the need for strong civil society support to address global crises. Despite its neutrality, the DRK is strongly committed to protecting the rights of humanitarian workers.
The DRK Elmshorn relies on a strong community of volunteers who are committed to a diverse and inclusive society. The commitment to seniors with limited mobility and youth work are central components of the activities.
In addition to its important work in the social sector, the DRK Ortsverein Elmshorn is investing in modern adaptations to help those in need more effectively, for example through new transport vehicles for seniors.
Support through donations and voluntary commitment is essential for the continuation and expansion of these important services. Therefore, every commitment and every donation is welcomed and appreciated.
