Dear friends of Malteser International,

As the ongoing crisis in West Africa’s Sahel zone continues to worsen, we prepare to join hands with our French partners of the Order of Malta in the region to provide assistance to Malian refugees in Burkina Faso. Caught in between a terrible drought and political turmoil, these people are in dire need of our help. That’s why we’re thankful to count on a reliable network of partners all over the world, ready to help us reach those who are most vulnerable. One of these partners, Malteser Perú, celebrated its ten-year anniversary this month. We congratulate Malteser Perú on their successful work over the past decade, and hope for many more years of cooperation – for the people, with the people.
