Flying is our passion. As an airline, we travel all over the world, so we bear a special responsibility toward our society and our environment. We take this responsibility very seriously and live up to it across numerous projects. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our company culture.
Even if no one wants to face exceptional situations or crises, it's essential to be properly prepared. The Condor Special Assistance Team (SAT) supports affected customers and their relatives on site in such cases. The team consists of volunteer staff members who have been intensively trained to provide psychosocial, organizational, and administrative assistance in challenging situations.

Condor guarantees that your donation will be passed on to the Foundation without deductions. As a general rule for tax deductibility, amounts up to €300 can be claimed from the tax office even without a donation receipt (confirmation of donation). For a direct donation to the Foundation, you only need your bank statement and a statement of exemption. As the donation is made via Condor, please send your Condor receipt and this exemption statement (Section 50 4 no. 2b EStDV), which includes a declaration of the Condor partnership, to your tax office. This should usually be sufficient for the donation to be recognized in Germany.
If your (foreign) tax office also wants a donation receipt, you can apply for one from the Foundation. To do so, please send the following information to info@fly-and-help.de:
If you'd like to make more donations, feel free to do so directly to our account at FLY & HELP. You'll automatically receive a donation receipt for donations of 50 euros or more if you provide your address:

The small clinic in Majengo is not only the first point of call for quick medical help, but has also become a popular spot for many Condorians during their stay in Mombasa. The clinic has 2 delivery beds, an X-ray machine and doctors available several times a month for consultations. The poorest of the poor regularly receive free treatment here. The clinic is run by the warm and charismatic Betty Maina. Newborns are given little hats and socks, and Betty can now also dress them in rompers and other baby clothes. These valuable items, such as hats and socks, are collected in advance by the Condor crews at home and handed over during layovers in Mombasa.
However, support can take many forms: On his flight to Mombasa on May 1, 2018, Matthias Rühle (Purser) carried a complete ENT unit in his baggage, donated by ENT doctor Fortuna Gebremeskel and packed and handled free of charge for the flight by Cargo Mover. Dentist Gunnar Doobe and dental technician Daniel Wiegand voluntarily traveled to Mombasa during their vacation, set up the unit and put it into operation.
Dentist Alexander May, a friend of Matthias Rühle from Walldorf, also arrived shortly after with his friend, dentist Daniel Kiefle, as well as donor and ENT specialist Fortuna Gebremeskel. They brought a mobile unit with them for treatments, filling and suturing materials, surgical instruments and medications. This allowed the clinic to provide help to as many people as possible. The next deployment is already eagerly awaited. Supporters of the Blue Bell Kindergarten arranged for a second new fully-flat bed in August in case two women need to give birth at the same time.

The Guarabira Children's Village, currently home to 360 children, is situated in the village of Guarabira in northeastern Brazil. It has seen a number of developments since 2020. The long-planned training center for teenagers has been completed. A second-hand tractor has been newly acquired to farm the land in the children's village.
Fruit and vegetables for personal use are cultivated and maintained by the children and young people. In the event of a bountiful harvest, the fruit and vegetables not used personally are sold at a nearby market. The money is a good investment in the further education of the children and teenagers in the Children's Village.
There is also a new carpenter's workshop at the Children's Village. This is where the tables and benches for the market stall were constructed.
To continue supporting this work, we appreciate every euro and all of your support.

Condor sponsors: Birgit Rusche, Matthias Rühle, both pursers at Condor
Since October 2006, the Blue Bell Kindergarten has been sponsored by HelpAlliance, founded by Birgit Rusche (Condor) and Kerstin Auersch (Lufthansa). Back then, 46 children aged between two and eight were cared for and educated at Blue Bell. In the following years, the school was able to be continuously expanded.
Today, Blue Bell School includes a daycare, preschool, primary school and secondary school. Some 307 children have been attending the school since January 2021. In supporting the school, particular emphasis was placed on improving the school infrastructure, as well as on hygiene and water supply. Among other improvements, funding went toward expanding sanitary facilities and the acquisition of large water tanks for rainwater collection.
Thanks to donations and broad-based support, especially from Condor employees, it was possible to purchase tables, chairs and teaching materials. Today, the school employs 8 teachers and 7 educators. The current challenge is primarily on managing the coronavirus pandemic, just like it is back home. The people on site are even more affected. Due to government measures, the school had to close for nearly nine months in 2020, resulting in no income generation and the need for additional funding.
To support families in particular need, funds were made available quickly and efficiently to provide urgently needed food supplies as part of an emergency aid program at the end of 2020. The Blue Bell School is a successful example of self-help and will continue to provide many children with access to education in the future, soon achieving its goal of becoming financially independent.

Support for Earthquake in Haiti
Condor, together with the aid organization Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen (Aviation Without Borders) e.V., is supporting the earthquake victims in Haiti by transporting urgently needed relief supplies such as medicines, tents, and baby food to Santo Domingo and the disaster region on Condor flights.
Diversity and equality are essential values at Condor. We firmly believe that a diverse team, where people from different backgrounds, genders, age groups and perspectives work together, is the key to innovative solutions and sustainable success. That is why we foster an inclusive corporate culture where all employees have equal opportunities to develop their talents and advance their career. Our commitment to equal opportunities is reflected in fair hiring and promotion processes as well as in training opportunities. Together, we create a work environment where everyone is respected and valued, and diversity is seen as an asset. For instance, we annually support Christopher Street Day in various cities, actively participate in Girls' and Boys' Day, and advocate for preventing and tackling breast cancer as part of FlyPink.
Even after Christopher Street Day, our message remains visible: The banners from our trucks are transformed into high-quality bags in the workshops at Lebenshilfe Bruchsal-Bretten e.V. Each piece is handmade and unique – a symbol of active inclusion and sustainable recycling.
The educational situation is catastrophic in certain developing countries. FLY & HELP has set itself the goal of remedying this situation. The five projects Reiner Meutsch supported during his world tour were just the start of a long-term educational campaign by the FLY & HELP Foundation.
Since its foundation in 2009, a total of 950 schools have been built in 57 countries, with funding amounting to approximately €50 million (as of May 2025) Thanks to newly constructed buildings and improved infrastructure, more than 190,000 children in Africa, Asia and Latin America have already had the opportunity to attend school, laying the foundation for a self-determined future.
All donations are directed entirely into the projects, as all the foundation's expenses are personally covered by Reiner Meutsch or funded by sponsors.
Another project close to the association's heart is From Girl to Woman, which supports and empowers girls on their way to becoming young women, for example by providing hygiene products such as sanitary towels that were previously lacking.
Water supply, vocational training, job creation – all of these form part of the extensive projects of the association, which aims to empower individuals in fulfillment of its social responsibility and the Christian mission of charity.
The association operates solely on a voluntary basis. "This is only possible thanks to the great support of the Condor ConTribute team," says the board of Wir helfen in Afrika (We Help in Africa) e.V.

Young Bafana is a football academy in Somerset West, about 30 minutes from Cape Town, South Africa. Founder Bernd Steinhage established the non-profit organisation during the 2010 World Cup to offer children and young people from disadvantaged townships a way out of poverty and violence and open up new prospects through a combination of football, education and nutrition.
Condor sponsor: Martin Sehnem, flight attendant at Condor
Condor flight attendant Martin Sehnem is committed to helping children and physically disabled people in the Dominican Republic with his aid project helpaniola.com . In a small town in Azua, he meets the locals and learns about what's lacking. The hearing aid wholesaler audibene and the medical supply store rahm Zentrum für Gesundheit donate a significant number of hearing aids and wheelchairs to him. In November 2017, Martin Sehnem founded the non-profit association helpaniola.com e.V. to enable the direct delivery of aid supplies into the country.
"Wings of Med" airlift: From aid cargo to bear campaign on the ice
The collaboration between Condor and Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen/Wings of Help (LOG/WoH) on humanitarian work has been ongoing for about 15 years now. Following the joint large-scale operation for Haiti, which was devastated by the earthquake in 2010, with over 200,000 dead and 300,000 injured, long-term cooperation developed in the form of a medical airlift called "Wings of Med". As part of the collaboration, urgently needed relief supplies were flown to Santo Domingo on a Condor Boeing 767-300 just a few days after the earthquake. From there, the cargo was transported via helicopter directly to the disaster region to assist the people in need. These were mainly medicines for cholera, medical supplies, tents, blankets, baby food, and tablets for purifying drinking water.
On additional Condor flights, tents were transported to Haiti to protect people from wind and weather. The International Red Cross emphasized that through this ad hoc measure for transporting medical supplies alone, the child mortality rate in Haiti was reduced from 18 percent to 0.08 percent following the natural disaster.

In 1999, Kenyan couple Jane and John Karigo decided to welcome orphans into their home alongside their own four children, providing them with a new family. What started back then with a few children now provides a home to 49 children of all ages.
In 2012, the children's home moved into a new, spacious home with a large vegetable garden, a flock of chickens and a small herd of goats. Bananas, papayas, beans and passion fruits from our own harvest enrich the children's menu. Tanja Fischer regularly collects donations for the project in her hometown.

The St. Joseph House of Hope Foundation has been supported by HelpAlliance since 2013. The first major project was the construction of modern sanitary facilities, which were necessary to secure approval for the Foundation's school and training centers. Since then, more than 450 children and young people have been educated from kindergarten to high school each year. Training facilities were also established in tailoring, metalworking, carpentry and electrical workshops. This was later followed by an IT class with 24 new computers to teach the pupils IT skills.
The latest project includes beauty/hair and massage courses, as well as cooking/baking and catering classes. These are intended to provide young people, especially those without formal education, with qualified training. The program is primarily targeted at girls who have had limited educational opportunities until now. In the future, there are also plans to build a canteen and a café, where the trainees can learn in a hands-on environment.
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the students and their families hard. All schools were closed for nine months. Thanks to the support of HelpAlliance, all projects were completed and lessons for 340 students in the lower grades resumed. However, the high school remains closed due to insufficient funds. A particular challenge came in 2021 when new government requirements required additional teachers and textbooks. Additionally, children should continue to receive a hot meal every day, which is often their only meal of the day.
In August 2022, Condor expanded its long-standing partnership with the FLY & HELP Foundation and became an official partner under the ConTribute initiative. The foundation, founded by Reiner Meutsch, is dedicated to constructing schools in developing countries. With our increased commitment, passengers have been able to donate to educational projects on all flights since August 2022. Starting from one euro, guests can make a donation as part of their onboard purchase (Buy on Board and bordshop). To promote the fundraising campaign, an image movie is available on all flights in the inflight entertainment system.
Since the beginning of the partnership, Condor has co-financed six schools in Africa (Kenya & Namibia) and Central America (Dominican Republic, Mexico, Haiti) and supported numerous events organised by the foundation, most recently the "Stars under the Stars of Africa" trip to Mombasa, Kenya, and the "Night of German Schlager Music 2025" on Fuerteventura. Through its expanded collaborations, Condor will continue to contribute to the construction of new schools in Condor's target destinations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Every donation goes directly into the projects, as Reiner Meutsch personally covers all administrative costs, or they are covered through sponsors.
The holistic support is already having a major impact: former players have already made the leap to the South African Premier League or to prestigious schools. The YB Players Restaurant was established in 2024. In the future, an additional digital classroom is to be created to further enhance access to education. Condor supports Young Bafana in many ways: With Condor's help, members of the German association can regularly get involved on the ground, and interns can travel there easily and participate. In addition, Condor provides logistical support for the transport of urgently needed donations to South Africa.
Young Bafana represents community and engagement – both locally in South Africa and in Germany. Every contribution counts – whether through a donation, membership in the YB Family Club or getting involved in person. "We have the power to changes lives through sport!"
Further information about Young Bafana's work can be found on the official website www.youngbafana.com and on social media channels on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Dental treatments make intensive use of materials and equipment, so the organization has relied on logistical support from the very beginning. Condor assists DIANO in transporting the necessary equipment to the Dominican Republic. DIANO has been active in this region for 15 years and has chosen to travel with Condor ever since. The collaboration has proven very fruitful and reliable. Last but not least, we've grown fond of the people. For the predominantly young dentists, such aid missions provide valuable life experience, and they rarely stop at just one mission on site.
The non-profit association Wir helfen in Afrika (We Help in Africa) e.V. has taken on the mission of enhancing the living conditions of people in Africa and ensuring children receive the necessary education. The association based in Gelnhausen was established in 2010. Previously, it had been active as a private initiative for 20 years.
The focus is on the Kwale District in Kenya, south of the Condor destination Mombasa. There, the association's project goals are implemented in schools and health clinics – children with limited educational opportunities are supported on their journey through life via school sponsorships.
Healthcare is also central to the association's work. One focus is combating infestation by the "jigger" sand flea.
Condor regularly assists LOG/WoH in transporting aid supplies to target destinations within the Condor route network and supports LOG/WoH initiatives with attractive flight prices, e.g. as prizes at charitable events. In 2010, Condor organized a fundraising campaign with Peanuts, which brought in 175,000 euros for LOG. The donations came from ticket and on-board shop sales as well as special promotions, with all proceeds dedicated entirely to charity.
At the end of every year, Condor and LOG/WoH get together for a special ice hockey collaboration. On behalf of EHC Freiburg ("Die Wölfe"), the aid organization is involved in the traditional "Teddy Bear Toss", which has its origins in ice hockey-loving Canada. During the first intermission, thousands of stuffed animals are thrown onto the ice, either brought by fans in advance or acquired for a donation from LOG/WoH before the game. For years, the campaign has generated a significant amount of money, which LOG/WoH allocates for humanitarian purposes. Condor supports a raffle with prizes organized within this framework.
Reiner Meutsch, former managing director of a travel company, has turned a lifelong dream into a calling. It all started in 2010, when the former manager from Westerwald exchanged his desk for the cockpit to become the tenth German to embark on a round-the-world trip in a small plane, supporting five educational projects along the way.
"I've traveled a lot in my job. Most of the time, the focus was on tourism marketing. However, many dream destinations do not provide the locals with idyllic conditions at all. I find it particularly tragic when children do not have access to education – and have no future prospects as a result," says Reiner Meutsch. "That's why I supported educational projects for children during my world tour."
Toothache is unpleasant, especially when there's no prospect of relief. This was recognized by trained specialists, and spontaneous emergency aid developed into the international aid organization DIANO (Dental International Aid Networking Organization). DIANO is primarily active in underserved regions in the Caribbean and Central America. In targeted missions, including in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti and Guatemala, DIANO aims to offer basic dental care to people in underserved areas.
The organization provides care for people who do not have access to dental treatments or who cannot financially afford them. DIANO reaches people in remote mountain villages or outside metropolitan areas and establishes treatment facilities in schools or community centers to provide direct pain relief on site.
