Why a will is important
With a will, you make a statement: you decide what happens to your assets. A will gives you the opportunity to structure your estate according to your personal values. Without a will, statutory succession applies - but you may want to decide for yourself who should receive your estate. In addition to family or friends, charitable organizations such as humedica can also be included as heirs or with a legacy. If you remember humedica in your will, your commitment to others will continue - even if you are no longer around.
Why consider humedica?
With a donation in your will, you can do good far beyond your lifetime. You create prospects for people in need - be it due to natural disasters, war or poverty. As an international aid organization, humedica has been providing medical emergency and disaster relief as well as sustainable development cooperation for over 40 years. A donation to humedica in your will means that your values live on - as aid that gets through.
Your help arrives
Our responsible handling of donations has been confirmed annually since 2008 by the award of the donation seal of the German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI). Low administrative and advertising costs are a priority for humedica. On average, these expenses amount to 14 percent and are classified as "appropriate" by the DZI. We give you a detailed insight into what happens to your donation.
Your legacy has a lasting effect
Every donation made in a will has a long-term impact: it improves access to medical care, enables education and healthcare projects in disadvantaged regions and helps us to respond quickly in acute crisis situations. Thanks to donations like these, we can provide targeted and lasting help. Your support creates hope and a future.
Disaster relief
With your legacy, you enable rapid assistance in the event of disasters - for example after earthquakes, floods or hurricanes. You ensure that those affected are supplied with essential items, such as medicines, clean water and food.
In the greatest need
Help where it is needed most urgently. In many countries, the need is permanent - caused by hunger, conflict or inadequate healthcare. With your donation in your will, you can support long-term humanitarian aid in forgotten regions where media attention has long been lacking.
Future for families
Open up new perspectives. With your donation in your will, you can support school meals, early childhood development or income programs for parents, for example. In this way, you provide sustainable help for entire families and village communities beyond your lifetime.
