foundation of its work. Its mission is not only to provide emergency relief, but also to implement rehabilitation measu-

and promotes primary health care services and seeks to reduce vulnerability and poverty. It is committed to high quality

2 MISSION
Editorial
2006 was a very eventful year for Malteser International. We provided help during many crises
and disasters. Some were closely followed by the media, like the devastating earthquake on Java in
May and the war-torn region of Darfur. Others didn’t make the news, such as the drought in Kenya
in March, the destructive typhoon in Vietnam in October or the miserable living conditions of the
population of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Our aim is to provide these people and the many other victims of disasters with rapid and efficient
Nicolas de Cock
de Rameyen support. Humanitarian aid must not only be supplied quickly and fulfil all moral requirements, but
President must also comply with efficiency and efficacy standards. It must be transparent – not just to those
who provide the financing, but also and above all to those who receive the aid. Those who are
affected are often our best partners on-site and are of vital importance in terms of the type, orienta-
tion, scope and duration of the aid we provide. It is not we who are the leaders of the procedure, but
rather the victims themselves. Going about things differently would rob them of the last thing they
have left, after they have already lost so much: their dignity. This places high demands on the aid-
workers: first, it means that we must surrender our Western outlook and take on that of the people
in need. If our aid is to be more than a well-meaning consolation, it has to provide a permanent and

Secretary General
– and this must be based on the perspective of those affected. Tailor-made solutions must be found
for actual problems, without offering any pre-fabricated products. Such solutions can only work if
we treat the disaster victims as equals and use their ideas as the basis for our actions. We must allow
– and indeed wish for – our actions to be measured against this requirement.
This Report is an account of the projects we undertook in 2006. Many private individuals,
organisations, institutions and companies have supported our work over the past year, as have many
public donors, foundations and organisations, both national and international. We wish to express
our most sincere gratitude to them all. To continue supporting the needy and working with them
towards a sustainable future, we rely on your help. Please continue to accompany us along this path
and support our work to help those who are so dependent on our care.
