Mission 21 is active in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America as part of sustainable development cooperation and humanitarian aid for peacebuilding, education, health, food sovereignty and against violence against women and children. In this way, we are helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Cameroon<\/h5>

Cancellation of USAID funds: What this means for the people of Cameroon <\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

The radical withdrawal of the US development agency USAID from several thousand projects worldwide made headlines around the world this spring. How does this withdrawal affect a country's population and healthcare system in concrete terms?<\/p>\n

With this question in mind, we looked at Cameroon and our local partner organizations. In March 2025, for example, there was already a shortage of important medicines at Manyemen Hospital - which is dangerous given the widespread diseases and infections such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV. The economic, psychological and social consequences for patients and healthcare staff are also enormous.<\/p>\n

Your support is needed more urgently than ever.<\/p>\n

South Sudan<\/h5>

On the Run in Their Own Country<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

The situation in South Sudan, where people are facing hunger, hundreds of thousands of refugees from neighboring Sudan, and civil war-like violence, is extremely tense. Fears of violent outbreaks are growing; even an attack on a neighboring village can trigger a mass exodus. As a result, many people are fleeing within South Sudan and, as internally displaced persons, are seeking shelter in places where their future is uncertain.<\/p>\n

Mission 21 works with its partner organizations to Targeted humanitarian aid<\/strong>: by providing food and daily necessities, as well as medical care and access to clean drinking water.<\/p>\n

Peacebuilding, reconciliation, and forgiveness are integral parts of Mission 21\u201es humanitarian aid. Even in acute crisis situations, we make a point of strengthening dialogue and nonviolent conflict resolution. Read more about the situation of internally displaced persons in the December issue of our magazine \u201cbegegnen\u201d\u2014or feel free to support our work right now.<\/p>\n
