It is with a very heavy heart and deep sadness that I share the news of the sudden passing of Ajoy Maity on 16 September 2026.
Ajoy began his journey with both Terre des Hommes Suisse and Terre des Hommes Germany, where he worked for more than two decades (1998–2016). He then continued with Terre des Hommes Suisse from 2016 until 2026. He remained deeply committed to both these organizations until his last day.
It is difficult to find the right words to describe Ajoy at this moment.
What I will remember most about Ajoy is his sincerity, honesty, dedication, and quiet sense of responsibility. He was someone you could trust; someone who was always willing to listen, support, and stand by others when needed. Ajoy was one of the most sincere and trustworthy colleagues I have ever had worked with.
His positive attitude touched many people, and his supportive nature made him deeply valued and loved by all – colleagues, partners and others.
I extend my heartfelt prayers that his soul may rest in eternal peace, and that his family and loved ones may find strength during this difficult time.
He will forever remain in our hearts and memories.
Ajoy, be well, wherever you are.
