JOHANNITER works with home and host communities, IDPs and refugees in often in hard-to-reach places.

• Communities–especially children under 5 years old and pregnant and lactating women–attain better health and well-being through increased knowledge and improved conditions for healthy living as well as through receiving the most appropriate treatment for their illnesses.
