Projects
JHG Belgium supports projects such as the following:
DoucheFLUX
DoucheFLUX fights to end homelessness and offers tailored support to people with or without papers, with or without a home, from here or elsewhere, to make it easier for them to access their fundamental rights.
The first activities – a magazine and a radio station – began as early as 2012. Many more activities were added in the following years. In March 2017, the DoucheFLUX project reached an important milestone with the opening of a new building in Anderlecht, near Brussels-South station. After almost a year of renovation, the DoucheFLUX day centre has 20 shower cubicles, a laundry service and 230 lockers – complemented by a range of other, no less important services – in a dynamic and welcoming space that fosters exchange and respect for every individual.
Thanks to generous donations, in 2025 JHG Belgium was able to transfer small Christmas parcels and donations worth almost EUR 7,000 from its funds to DoucheFLUX.
Healing Horse
The Healing Horse in Tervuren is a small association offering qualified hippotherapy, therapeutic riding and assisted riding with horses for children and adults. This equine-assisted therapy is provided several times a week by volunteers. Contact and the many forms of interaction with the therapy horse have positive effects on a physical, sensory, mental, emotional, educational, communicative and social level. This helps children and adults with autism, AD(H)D, visual and/or hearing impairments, behavioural or learning difficulties, mental health problems, multiple sclerosis, back pain, sensory disorders, hemiplegia and more. Even small contributions have a particular impact here and make it possible to continue offering equine-assisted therapy in the face of high demand.
In 2025, JHG Belgium was once again able to support the special activities of “The Healing Horse” with a donation of EUR 1,000.
War in Ukraine
Since the outbreak of the war, JHG Belgium has helped in many ways.
Christmas parcels for Ukrainian refugee children
As in previous years, during Advent 2025 JHG Belgium again collected and sent Christmas parcels for internally displaced people in Ukraine. With the help of Mission Siret, the parcels were taken via northern Romania into Ukraine, where they were distributed to children in refugee camps before Christmas. From a warehouse in Siret, Romania, volunteers drive urgently needed relief supplies into Ukraine in vans every day and distribute them in a targeted way to social centres, hospitals, children’s homes and orphanages. In this way, the volunteers help people fleeing the war.
An ambulance for Ukraine
Another example, from 2023: since the outbreak of the war, members of JHG Belgium have actively collected donations to alleviate humanitarian suffering in Ukraine. The employer of one JHG member tripled the impressive result, which made it possible to purchase a used ambulance.
In cooperation with the Rhein-Main regional association of the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, the ambulance was fully equipped, and a pallet of special dressings for gunshot wounds was added to the donation.
Two bronchoscopes were also donated on top of this impressive package. The total value of the donation was EUR 110,000.
Travelling in a convoy of lorries that also brought used hospital beds to Ukraine, the ambulance arrived safely at its destination, Dnipro, where it is now in daily operation.
