SALEM – working worldwide for peace

Various collaborations have contributed greatly to this positive development, and patient numbers and treatments are rising steadily. We are continuing to work towards full recognition as a hospital. Here is a brief status report from our health centre.

In addition to the SALEM headquarters, our assisted living team has also been based in Stadtsteinach for over 15 years. We are now planning to establish a new shared living community called ‘Sprungbrett’, thereby creating an opportunity for young people with mental illness to live independently.

The Ecuadorian town of Mindo where our children's and youth center is located does not have a functioning wastewater treatment system. With the construction of our new youth centre "Maloka", we very quickly agreed with the donors that we had to improve something in this regard.

There is a lot to do at our training center in Togo right now, as project manager Gbati Nikabou reports. Unfortunately, the start of our new training programme has been delayed a bit due to bureaucratic hurdles. But the waiting time is well used.

In April, we reported here about the children in Uganda who had been abandoned by their parents. This case presented our team with major challenges, but things turned out well for the family. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in this emergency situation!
