Dear Friends,

A natural disaster strikes and all of a sudden people who only a while ago were enjoying their normal lives are left with nothing but a feeling of despair. Nearly 1,000 people are feared dead across Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe as Cyclone Idai made landfall on March 14 and about 2.6 million people are affected.

Malteser International's relief teams are now in Mozambique and are responding to the emergency. However, our biggest concern is to ensure that those who have survived are not faced with the disaster of diseases like cholera. We must act quickly!

Yours truly,

Syria: Reckoning with 8 years of war

March 15 marked eight years since the Syrian war began. About 12 million people have been displaced as a result of the conflict and Malteser International is still helping. We were at the Brussels Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and had a clear message.

Empowering Syrian refugee women in Turkey

During times of conflict and displacement, women and girls are disproportionately exposed to human rights abuses and violations. We are working to support Syrian women in Turkey who have been forced to flee their homes as a result of war and conflict.

Enhancing sustainable fish farming in Myanmar

Fish farming is an important livelihood in Myanmar. The country is blessed with an abundance of water bodies that provide habitats for a rich diversity of marine species.
