News and Events

Our health center in SALEM-Uganda has again made some progress on the way to being recognized as a hospital. Having an X-ray machine with suitable premises is part of the mandatory equipment in order to be considered for a higher classification. The device was recently put into operation and after the employees were trained on it, it can now be used on patients.

We recently received news from our project in SALEM-Togo. In his report, project manager Gbati Nikabou gives us an insight into what he and his team have been able to achieve in the last few months.

The name SALEM is derived from the Hebrew word “Shalom” and means “Peace”. Peace is the main motivation of the SALEM-work. After traumatic experiences during the war and in captivity SALEM Founder Gottfried Müller decided that from now on he will put his live in service to God. Never again would he want to bring harm to people, animals or nature. Since 1957 our organisation has been operating in this spirit. People of different nations, colours, religions and origins are working together in our projects - and it works!

In our SALEM project we started a campaign that addresses the issue of violence and calls for a non-violent life for everyone. In Ecuador, many women, girls, boys and adolescents are affected by violence at a young age. Unfortunately, domestic violence has been made worse by the pandemic-related restrictions.

After quite a while we finally got news from our project in Togo. Fortunately, it is mostly positive news, as project officer Agnes Ziegelmayer summarizes in her report.
