(1)

Johanniter International Assistance is active in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, providing humanitarian aid to victims of natural disasters, conflicts and violence. Johanniter’s long history can be traced back to 1099, when Christian knights formed a brotherhood to care for poor and ill pilgrims in Jerusalem. John the Baptist became the patron saint, lending his name to the order.

Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe as part of the german Johanniter order was founded in 1952. Johanniter International Assistance is part of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe.

A safe place. A fresh start. Hope. 💙
The war in Ukraine has forced millions of people to flee their homes. For many women and children, rebuilding their lives begins with finding a safe place.
Together with our partner Eleos-Ukraine, we support women and families through the St. Olga's Shelter Network. The shelters provide more than just safe accommodation, they offer psychosocial support, access to healthcare, assistance with administrative procedures, and career coaching to help women regain independence and build a new future.
🤝Together with our local partners, we will continuously help create safe spaces where people can recover with dignity, regain confidence and mental health, look to the future with hope.

Protecting those who help others.
In Gaza, humanitarian workers continue to provide essential care and support under extremely difficult conditions. They work alongside people who have been displaced, lost access to essential services and continue to face immense uncertainty.
Their work reminds us that humanitarian action is ultimately about people – about protecting dignity, preserving lives and staying alongside communities when crises become protracted and international attention shifts elsewhere.
At least 326 humanitarian workers were killed across 21 countries in 2025. Behind every number is a person – a colleague, a friend, a family member, a member of a community.
This World Humanitarian Day, we stand with humanitarian and medical workers in Gaza and around the world. We call for their protection, respect for International Humanitarian Law, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access, and support for the local responders who remain at the heart of humanitarian action.
We must stay with the people. And we must protect those who are there to help them.

📍Five years after the Taliban took power, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is still dire. Natural disasters, economic collapse and falling international aid are making daily life even harder. Nearly half of all children suffer from malnutrition and millions face acute food insecurity.

We have been working in Afghanistan for more than 20 years — providing basic medical care in hard‑to‑reach regions and treating malnutrition together with local partners. Our longstanding presence shows how vital reliable humanitarian support is for people on the ground.

The need remains huge. Millions still depend on international assistance. ❤️‍🩹Please remember the people of Afghanistan and support humanitarian efforts where you can.

From the field to new opportunities 🌱
Last week, Johanniter colleagues travelled to agricultural communities in Stung Treng and Ratanakiri provinces as part of our European Union in Cambodia funded project supporting indigenous women in Cambodia.
Together with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), Provincial Departments and our local partners NTFP PAGE and Bandos Komar Association, we spent the week listening, learning and exchanging experiences around post-cashew harvest management, processing and market linkages.
The visit provided valuable insights into the experiences, knowledge and priorities of local communities and highlighted opportunities to strengthen skills, businesses and connections along the cashew value chain.
With the foundations of the project now in place, we look forward to continuing to work together with communities, government and partners as we plan the next phase of the project.
🤝Together, we can turn local insights into new opportunities.

🩺Looking back on our health projects 2025.
We have supported people’s health through 26 projects on 4 continents. This is because during crises, wars, and disasters, health care systems come under strain. Health projects are crucial for preventing and treating injuries, illnesses, and malnutrition. And they save lives. ❤️‍🩹

When people are forced to flee, they often leave behind more than their homes – they also lose access to life-saving medication💊 and essential healthcare🩺. Despite the ceasefire, many families in Lebanon remain displaced, while health facilities are overwhelmed by the growing needs.
🤝Together with our partner SAMS, our mobile health teams provide essential healthcare services where it is needed most, ensuring that people with chronic illnesses, pregnant women, children and other vulnerable groups receive the care they urgently need.

📍Across South Sudan, humanitarian needs continue to grow.
In Jur River County, insecurity and displacement continue to put communities under increasing pressure. In Lafon County, severe food shortages are leaving many families struggling to meet their basic needs.
🤝Together with humanitarian partners, Johanniter is taking part in joint needs assessments to better understand the different challenges communities are facing and support a coordinated response. These assessments are an important first step to ensure that assistance reaches those who need it most.
As humanitarian needs continue to rise across both locations, collaboration remains essential to provide timely and effective support to affected communities.

🤝Partnership starts with listening.
Together with EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid and our consortium partners, Johanniter visited communities and project sites in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, as our new humanitarian project enters into its implementation phase. The field visit included face to face exchanges with local authorities, healthcare professionals, teachers and community members, including internally displaced people (IDPs) and returnee families who shared their realities, priorities, and hopes firsthand. These discussions will help ensure that the project's activities are guided by local priorities and needs.

Implemented by a consortium of Johanniter, Acted, Ayuda en Acción Moçambique and ADPP Mozambique, the project supports communities affected by years of conflict and climate shocks in Cabo Delgado through a coordinated, community-centred approach, bringing together complementary expertise across humanitarian sectors to deliver integrated, dignified assistance to those who need it most.
💙 A heartfelt thank you to EU Humanitarian Aid for the valuable exchange, the trust placed in this partnership, and continued commitment to the people of Cabo Delgado.
