The path to a world without hunger begins long before a meal reaches the table. 🍽

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)​, ending hunger is within reach. The world already produces enough food to nourish everyone, yet 645 million people still face hunger, and 2.69 billion cannot afford a healthy diet. As conflict, economic instability and climate shocks put pressure on agrifood systems, the challenge is how to ensure access to reliable, affordable and nutritious food for people everywhere.

Tomorrow’s food and nutrition security depends on the actions we take today. By supporting sustainable livelihoods, strengthening local food production, and helping communities adapt to a changing climate, we are laying the foundations for a more food-secure future. 🥗✅

Good news from South Sudan🌱

In Kimbi village, located near Yei in the south, a group of six farmers is proving what can happen when knowledge, determination, and teamwork come together.

With support from Malteser International, the God is Great Farmers group has strengthened its farming skills, expanded its harvests, and improved its incomes. Today, they grow a variety of crops and use their produce to feed their families and earn additional income. 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

💬"Our families are now enjoying a well-balanced diet every day. Our children are healthier and happier, and we even have surplus produce to sell in the market," one group member shared.

Their success is also benefiting others. The farmers now mentor neighboring communities, sharing knowledge on planting, harvesting, storage, and irrigation techniques. By working together, they have even introduced irrigation pumps that allow them to grow vegetables during the dry season and sell them when market demand is highest. 💧🥬

Two green checks. For Olena, they can mean everything. ✅📱

Olena is a family doctor, a mother, and the wife of a Ukrainian soldier. Since fleeing occupation in southern Ukraine, she has rebuilt her life with her daughter in Mykolaiv while coping with the constant uncertainty of having a loved one serving on the frontline. Two green checks on her messenger app can mean that her husband is safe and has read her message.

Like many healthcare workers in Ukraine, Olena spends her days caring for others while carrying her own worries. Through the "Doctor and War" programme, she receives psychological support to help manage anxiety, prevent burnout and find ways to preserve her strength amid the challenges of war. 💪

The programme is part of the project "Integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support for War-Affected Communities and Local Service Providers in Ukraine", implemented by a consortium co-led by Аваліст​ and Malteser International, in partnership with @Мальтійська служба допомоги, Health Service - Kyiv and @Слова допомагають Words Help, with financial support from Auswärtiges Amt​.

Today, Olena is learning to make room for moments of calm, hope and everyday life. ✨

“If I allow myself not to be afraid for a while, it does not mean that I love my husband any less. I need to preserve my strength – for my daughter, my work, myself, and for the day when he comes home,” she says.

What’s going on in Ukraine ❓

Attacks across Ukraine continue to intensify, including in cities far from the frontline. Delivering aid is becoming more difficult and dangerous, while people's needs continue to grow. 🚨

Humanitarian workers and aid facilities are increasingly affected by missile and drone strikes. So far, three humanitarian workers have lost their lives this year, and humanitarian supplies worth more than US$11 million have been destroyed.

Despite these challenges, we remain committed to supporting people in need and are currently preparing our winter relief response. As winter approaches and attacks on energy infrastructure continue, we will provide essential items such as sleeping bags, thermal blankets and power banks to help families stay warm and cope with power outages during the cold months ahead. ❄️

Our winterization activities in Ukraine are supported by Aktion Deutschland Hilft​, the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ)​, and the Auswärtiges Amt.

When disaster strikes, the first step towards recovery is meeting immediate needs. 🚨

Together with our partner Rural Self-reliance Development Centre - RSDC​, we supported 176 flood-affected families from Uttargaya Rural Municipality and Bidur Municipality, who are currently sheltering in Kathmandu, following the devastating floods in Nepal. Each family received food supplies for three months, cooking utensils, temporary shelter materials, and hygiene and water safety kits. 📦

A heartfelt thank you to the local government representatives, social workers, volunteers, Aktion Deutschland Hilft​ and RSDC for their support and commitment to communities affected by the floods. Together, we will continue to stand alongside flood-affected communities and support families on their road to recovery. ❤️‍🩹

When Brenda's daughter developed a fever and cough, she first visited a nearby clinic. But as her condition worsened, Brenda brought her to Arua Regional Referral Hospital, where doctors quickly diagnosed pneumonia.

Today, her daughter is recovering, helped by new equipment that allows healthcare workers to monitor vital signs and respond to emergencies faster.

With support from the Alfred Neven DuMont Foundation, Malteser International has equipped and renovated key hospital wards and trained 122 healthcare workers across Uganda's West Nile region. From oxygen systems and patient monitors to life-saving emergency care training, these improvements are helping children receive the care they need when every minute counts. 🙏
