By developing the digital archive WHO CARED, we want to document the stories of people who migrated to a different country to work in the care sector. We want to pay tribute to their lives, which have received little attention to date, make them visible to the public and preserve them for future generations and research.
To kick things off, we are focusing on the story of nurses from the southern Indian state of Kerala:
Malayali?
Did your mother or grandmother leave Kerala in the 60s/70s to become a nurse? Then it’s high time to preserve her remarkable story by recording a video interview – and we’re here to support you.
In the long term, the project aims to create space for many more stories related to care migration. Its goal is to document these migration experiences and make them accessible – to the nurses who once migrated, their descendants, those involved in current recruitment practices in the care sector, as well as to the public and academia.
Given the advanced age of many of these women, there is an urgent need to record their experiences without delay.

Dank ehrenamtlichem Engagement und staatlicher Förderung befindet sich das Online-Archiv WHO CARED derzeit im Aufbau. Doch um den erforderlichen Eigenanteil in der Finanzierung decken und das Projekt weiterentwickeln zu können, sind wir auf zusätzliche Gelder angewiesen.
