Text noch nicht dynamisch!!! Die "Regenbogennation" Südafrika hat
eine bewegte Geschichte mit Rassentrennung und Befreiung von der Apartheid hinter sich. Als
politischer und wirtschaftlicher Riese in der Region des Südlichen Afrika spricht Südafrika auch
ein gewichtiges Wort in der Weltpolitik mit, zu Hause steht das Land aber vor immensen sozialen
Aufgaben.
Just like Christmas, Easter is very important in my family. For generations, we have celebrated the holiday in our own way: a mixture of Christian traditions and local customs from the Spreewald.
DR Congo: Johanniter provides emergency medical relief for IDPs in North Kivu
Over a quarter million people are again on the run in the province of North Kivu. The camps for displaced people around the provincial capital Goma are already overcrowded. Johanniter is providing emergency medical relief in four camps.
One month after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria
One month ago today, the devastating two earthquakes hit the border region between Turkey and Syria. Tens of thousands of people died, millions were left homeless.
It is the second anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar. Since then, millions of people in the country have been living in great fear and poverty.
On the last three Sundays, I reported on the Christmas traditions of three other countries. In this last post, I would now like to tell you about my personal Christmas.
DR of Congo: Over a quarter of a million people on the run
Escalating violence in the east of the country is forcing 370,000 people to flee. They are in urgent need of humanitarian aid. Johanniter provides medical assistance.
Christmas in Kenya is the time when everyone goes to see their family. Santa also comes on Christmas Eve. But not on a sleigh pulled by reindeers. Rather, he comes in a Range Rover, on a bicycle or even on a camel.
Sandra Weppler, head of our office in Quito, talks about Christmas traditions in Ecuador and her festivities with a half Ecuadorian and half German family.
Ukraine: "Hope, that the world has not forgotten them"
Johanniter and its partner NEW DAWN are working together in the Kherson region to provide the necessities of life to displaced people and those who have remained in the villages.
There ain't no rest for the people in Lebanon. The war in Ukraine is a danger for the local people - even though there are almost 2,000 kilometres between Kiev and Beirut.
The difficult economic situation in Lebanon also leads to a deterioration in health care. Johanniter therefore continues to provide medical care for 30,000 Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese in the Bekaa Valley.
The climate change has a particularly significant impact on Cambodia's population, as 80% of its population lives in rural areas. They are particularly dependent on agriculture and natural resources.

Our Sectors
Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
We integrate preventive hygiene measures into our health projects. We also support the construction, maintenance and access to adequate drinking water and sanitation facilities.
We support basic medical care with a special focus on mother-child health and on particularly vulnerable groups. Preventive measures reduce diseases and mortality rates in the medium and long term.
Everyone should have access at all times to safe and adequate food that meets their needs and enables them to live a healthy life. This is the basis for earning an income of their own.
Johanniter International Assistance aims to involve local actors more closely in the humanitarian system and give them a more prominent role in it. This is why the partner approach plays an important role in our projects.
