About Us
The Libyan German Association was founded by committed members of the Libyan community in Germany with the goal of building bridges between people and strengthening civic engagement across borders. Dialogue, inclusion, and democratic values โโare at the heart of our work.
We are committed to giving Libyan voices a greater voice โ especially those of young people, women, and marginalized groups โ both in Germany and Libya.
Our journey began in September 2023 in response to the devastating flood disaster in Derna. A group of young people from various German cities spontaneously joined forces to provide quick and unbureaucratic assistance. This solidarity action developed into a long-term civil society initiative and ultimately our association.
Today, we are involved in various projects that provide concrete support, strengthen social participation, and work together towards a fairer future for Libya.
