Seafarers' welfare organizations

Seafarers’ welfare organizations are groups dedicated to supporting the well-being of mariners—those who work on ships across the world’s oceans. They provide services like healthcare, counseling, recreation, and assistance during emergencies, helping sailors maintain their physical and mental health despite long periods at sea. These organizations also advocate for fair treatment and safe working conditions. By addressing the unique challenges faced by seafarers, they ensure crew members are cared for and their rights protected, ultimately promoting safer and more humane maritime industry practices.
