SALEM – working worldwide for peace

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.

In our SALEM-village in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, life changed completely from one moment to the next. Our project, which has seen itself as a bridge of peace since it was founded 25 years ago, was also isolated as a result of the Russian war in Ukraine.

Do you remember our fundraising campaign before Christmas - the donation pot for Denis and others who urgently need medical help? We would now like to show you how Denis is doing after two surgeries that we were able to finance through your donations.

The consequences of climate change are also omnipresent in our SALEM-village in Uganda. In SALEM-Uganda, people recognized many years ago that they had to do something themselves: This was the beginning of our "Green Belt" around our project.

People from seven different countries are currently working together in SALEM-Ecuador. Despite different nationalities, skin colours, cultural backgrounds, beliefs, political views, etc., it is easy for us to work together for the benefit of others, because empathy and the idea of peace are firmly established.
