Search and Rescue for all Humans (NGO)

SARaH, or Search and Rescue for all Humans, is a German NGO based in Meßkirch whose objective is to save lives at sea, particularly in the central Mediterranean and Atlantic.[1] It is a charitable organisation, relying on donations and fundraising events.[2][3][4]

History

Mediterranean missions

After a period chartering other vessels,[2] since 2023 the group has operated their own ship Sarah for rescuing people in danger on the Mediterranean Sea.[5][6][7] Operations using Sarah began in July 2024.[8][9]

Atlantic missions

Regarding the Western African route, the organisation has used a chartered ship to conduct observation missions in cooperation with Mission Lifeline.[2][10][11] SARaH's Thomas Nuding spoke of the serious issues with the increasing flux of refugees on the Western African route in 2022.[12][13]
