Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome: “Children don't need charity – they need commitment”

Cologne/Rome. The fourth international “Ukraine Recovery Conference” (URC) in Rome is an important signal of support and solidarity, according to the Malteser Relief Service of Ukraine.

It's about remembering that rebuilding a nation also means rebuilding its children. And they don't need charity – they need commitment," says Titko.

Our Annual Report 2024 is now available!

It offers insights into some of our more than 150 projects through which we supported over seven million people in the past year. Their stories of hope and strength continue to inspire us and affirm that we are on the right path. We focus on the health and well-being of the people in need with whom we work. In 2024, we were able to support around 4.8 million people through various health initiatives. Our work also centered on food and nutrition security, as well as WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene). Thanks to these efforts, nearly 680,000 people gained access to safe drinking water, and more than 51,000 malnourished children under the age of five received successful treatment. You can learn more about these and other important topics – and the positive changes we achieved together with your support – in our Annual Report 2024.
