In 2012, Christian and Dunja Springer jointly founded the non-profit organisation Orienthelfer e.V. 

Long before the international community became aware of the effects of the armed conflicts in Syria, the organisation was providing humanitarian aid to those affected by the terrible fighting. For more than a decade, we have been supporting local organisations in their work in the Middle East. Our work currently focuses on Syria and Lebanon. 

The board members of Orienthelfer e.V. are Christian Springer as 1st chairman and founder, supported by Michael Nagy as 2nd chairman. Both are volunteers.
