Dear Friends,
I hope your new year is off to a great start. Last year we responded to some truly terrible emergency situations, including in Indonesia where coastal communities marked a bleak Christmas after a devastating tsunami.
On a positive note, our emergency response team became classified as Emergency Medical Team (EMT) by the World Health Organisation (WHO), joining the global number of self-sufficient teams ready to be deployed to emergencies. This is a further testimony to our efforts in making meaningful transformations to alleviate human suffering.
As always, your support for us in this mission has remained undeterred. Your generous donations to our Christmas campaign are already helping us secure the futures of the vulnerable people we serve and on their behalf, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Without you, nothing that we do would be possible. Let's keep up our vital work in 2019!
Best wishes for the rest of the year,
Ingo Radtke
Secretary General

Just before Christmas, a tsunami swept through villages along Indonesia's Sunda Strait on the evening of December 22 2018, killing more than 400 people and injuring over 7,000. It was a devastating end to a year of catastrophes for Indonesia. We are responding to the emergency through our local partner PKPA Foundation by distribuiting relief supplies such as hygiene kits, kitchen utensils and teaching material for children to families affected.
By making a donation to our disaster relief efforts, you can make sure that life-saving aid reaches those most affected.

| Since 2017, we have been responding to the needs of internally displaced persons in northeastern Nigeria. We have now expanded our operations by opening a second office in the town of Pulka. The new location will provide clean drinking water and help improve the hygiene situation in the town which has seen its population doubled with the arrival of large groups displaced by Boko Haram in the surrounding areas.

Malteser International has been successfully classified as Emergency Medical Team (EMT) by the World Health Organization (WHO). The classification came after a verification site visit by representatives from the WHO during which our team demonstrated its readiness to respond to emergency situations. As a certified EMT, our emergency response teams will now be part of WHO coordinated operations during future disaster situations.
