Malteser International Americas

In the Nippes region of #Haiti, Malteser International Americas is committed to restoring #mangroves and supporting local people in the face of #climate challenges. Thanks to beekeeping, Kenel Sanosier has transformed his life and that of his community. He has grown his apiary from 15 to 24 hives, helping to pollinate the mangroves, essential for local biodiversity. “With this project, I can send my children to school, and the community is already seeing the benefits: more fish for the fishermen and better protected plantings,” shares Kenel.

Every day, more and more children face a harsh reality that often goes unnoticed, but it is there, impacting their lives. An ideal weight is not just a number; it is a sign of health or life risk. Malnutrition takes lives, and we can all help to stop it. Our team in Colombia conducts nutritional follow-up days, but we can still do much more for them. With the support of Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany and Aktion Deutschland Hilft e.V. we are making progress, but we need your help.we need your help.

Urgent medical care for displaced Syrians from #Lebanon Since the escalation of hostilities in Lebanon on September 23, northwest Syria continues to see a steady influx of Syrians who have been living as refugees in Lebanon to northwest Syria. As of October 16, an estimated 4,000 people had crossed from northeast Syria into northwest Syria through the Aoun al-Dadat crossing. Over 80% of households are women and children (Source: UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency). As part of our commitment to supporting those in need worldwide, our local partner Independent Doctors Association IDA has established a medical point equipped with an ambulance to refer critical cases to a nearby hospital at Al-Ghanoura district, in northwest Syria, which is supported by Malteser International and funded by Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany.

Distributing warm meals to displaced people in #Lebanon “Many people had to flee quickly and have only been able to take the essentials with them. The Lebanese government is talking about the largest number of internally displaced persons in an extremely limited period of time in the country's history. The internally displaced communities currently lack everything – from accommodation to water, food, and hygiene supplies,” reports Lisa Kramer, our country coordinator for Lebanon. In the context of our existing projects with our partner organization Order Of Malta Lebanon, we are expanding our aid for the internally displaced persons in Lebanon: ➡️ distributing warm meals ➡️ expanding medical aid ➡️ procurement of much needed relief supplies LOVE.

#Lebanon: Malteser International concerned about security and supply of health facilities According to the UN, the recent attacks in southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as in Beirut, are the deadliest in years. The local Ministry of Public Health reports that around 500 people have lost their lives, over 1,500 have been injured, and more than 100,000 have been internally displaced. Amid this turmoil, the staff at the health facilities of the Order Of Malta Lebanon, our partner organization, are working tirelessly under extreme conditions. A Community Healthcare Center in the south has already been relocated due to nearby bombings, and our two Mobile Medical Units in this area must constantly adjust their routes to avoid attacks. Lisa Kramer, our country coordinator for Lebanon, shares: “The work is becoming increasingly difficult for our partner organization and us, but right now the people in Lebanon need our support. We have seen in other wars that health facilities were not protected from attacks, and we now call for international law to be upheld and for the protection of health facilities to be ensured.” Since 2012, we’ve been working with the Lebanese Order of Malta to provide essential healthcare through 4 Mobile Medical Units and 11 Community Healthcare Centers across the country, while also improving the nutritional situation through the operation of Agro-Humanitarian Centers. 🔗 Read our latest press release for more details: https://lnkd.in/ezUtiU4G We remain committed to supporting those in need during these challenging times.
