Ocean Crossing Safety

No one should have to risk death for a chance at life. Here is our commitment to changing that.

Our Motivation

Thousands of migrants risk — and lose — their lives every year on unsafe ocean crossings. We are committed to changing that.

According to the IOM's Missing Migrants Project, over 60,000 people have gone missing on the Mediterranean alone since 2014. Of that number, 47,363 died through drowning, 11,804 are mixed or unknown, 7,246 are from vehicle accidents, 6,071 died of harsh environmental conditions, 5,914 died of violence, 3,424 died of sickness, and 1,434 due to accidental death.

We are motivated to be the voice and the presence for migrants in distress — to reduce these numbers and ensure no life is lost needlessly at sea.

In three years:

We aim to have impacted thousands of global citizens.
Reduce drastically the numbers of death and missing people on our oceans.
Help migrants back into work or gain skills in their own home countries.
Invest in and supervise business ideas.

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to create awareness and gather support that helps migrants choose safer routes. For economic migrants, we offer employment support, skills development, and connections to opportunities in their home countries — empowering them to build a future without risking their lives.

We address this crisis at its root. Our key focus areas are:

Creating awareness and information on the dangers of travelling via unsafe routes.
Providing necessary financial and emotional support for those who are receptive.
Getting necessary policymakers and security operatives in the countries the migrants are travelling from involved, and creating the awareness on the dangers these migrants face when they travel via unsafe routes.
Working hand in hand with these security operatives and policy makers to deter the operations of human trafficking along the coasts of these countries.
For economic migrants who are willing to stay in their home countries, we'll be helping them navigate through employment and skills acquisition opportunities available to them.
Providing support to migrants who have just returned to their home countries and may need support in settling.

Our Partnerships

We believe no organisation can solve this crisis alone. That's why we actively seek partnerships with financial investors, educators, policymakers, world leaders, and fellow foundations — anyone whose vision aligns with our mission to protect lives at sea.

We are also open to franchise partnerships, where independent organisations can operate under the Dtribe Foundation banner globally, maintaining full alignment with our core principles and integrity.
