Dear Members, Sponsors, Beneficiaries,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Another year is drawing to a close. Unfortunately, the year 2022 was not a good one for most people. In addition to the world’s suffering, there has been Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, refugees from Ukraine, Africa and Middle East, natural disasters near and far with, sadly, many people losing their lives and relatives, or living in insecurity because of persecution, hunger, lack of freedom or health. Generations of children and adults are affected by post-traumatic stress disorder.
In the face of looming threats of death and destruction at our doorstep, we must not forget the African continent. Even if it appears that Africa has reached a level of development that is good, this does not mean the countries are able to take care of themselves and their citizens.
Statistics are only as good as the viewer interprets them, if you experience the hardship and the reality on the ground as our members and beneficiaries do, the reports can be seen to be only partially correct and often very one-sided.

On the subject of the war in Ukraine, we have received your requests: "When will we do something for Ukraine", "Help Ukraine" and we take them very seriously. We have referred some of our active volunteer members to other organizations which provide direct help.
As a result, we have come under both personal and financial pressure, since the large alliances of aid organizations do not work together with smaller organizations or operate through different structures and work processes.
Pledged donations for projects in Africa have not been paid or have been reduced.

Through our work as Europeans in West Africa, we make a significant contribution to maintaining solidarity with African countries and Ukraine, and the western democratic world, reducing suffering, reducing risky immigration to Europe, and improving the quality of life of people in Africa.
Through this approach, the Western states and their relief organizations also positively contribute to the countries they provide relief and development to. These countries are more likely to align themselves with the West and represent our common values of human rights in the UN Security Council and condemn countries like Russia, Iran, and others, they hopefully refrain from accepting economic support and development aid from such countries or harbour the perpetrators.

To be able to continue these services in the coming year, we need your support. With a personal or corporate donation, you can help us to continue our activities in West Africa. https://buy.stripe.com/14kbKN31o9Woa1qbIY

We wish you and your family, near and far, especially our members in mission countries, a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous, happy 2023.

Your team & board

Farming in Liberia
Sustainable and affordable locally grown food is the best option to reduce the dependency on expensive imported fruits and vegetables. Our local partner from the Rural Development Society shared knowledge of planting and the right use of fertiliser with the local farming community. We provided a range of seeds, farming products, accommodation, food and learning materials for the weekend seminars. These seminars and regular visits to the farming side increase productivity. In 8 weeks we will be harvesting the first watermelons. To allow the people in the countryside to make a profit on their work and the product in the city to be available at an affordable price, we are now logistics solutions.

An update on the foreign national we sent from Libera to Germany for surgery. With a solid cross-nation partnership, the surgery was a great success and with more outpatient care they will make a full recovery. Keeping our high EU standards of care made this possible.

“European standards worldwide” is one of EEA international main drives. Giving health care in remote and underdeveloped areas. If we cannot achieve this we can and will send you to an EU hospital. We are currently sending an international patient from Liberia to Germany by Brussels airways for surgery, giving our patients the EU care they need. You can help and support our mission by direct donation to this patient, please contact us for more information.

WE MADE IT- 4,863km and taking 33 days giving help and support by stopping off in Morocco, Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea we finally arrived in Liberia. With minor issues with border clearance, fallen trees, and mechanical breakdowns we are now here to start our mission. Thank you to all our supporters and volunteers and those who donated to our project.
If you have the time and means please continue to support our mission https://eeaiambulanceliberia.raisely.com/

Are any lumber jacks available? On the road to Liberia just before the border a fallen tree blocks the road. However, a blessing to a pregnant woman and her sister with a 1-year-old child who was on public transport on their way to Liberia had to dismount the bus at the fallen tree. With no other way, our Ambulance was able to assist the Liberian Nationals by providing transport to Liberia. The mission of helping and relief started earlier than we thought.
