Myanmar – a country in turmoil
On 1 February, the military seized power in Myanmar. De facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest and a one-year state of emergency declared. What is it that is taking place in the country that has only experienced tentative reforms since 2011? And how is the current crisis affecting the poorest, who are the beneficiaries of HEKS/EPER projects?
Political situation in Ethiopia
In November 2020 the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) launched an offensive in Tigray against Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Besides, violence in Ethiopia has steadily increased in recent months. As a direct result, thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced. On the whole, HEKS/EPER projects in the country have so far not been directly affected, but the situation in Ethiopia remains very volatile.
Country Programme Myanmar
The country programme deploys innovative solutions in an effort sustainably to enhance incomes, food security and social integration for marginalised and displaced people in rural parts of Myanmar.
The humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly dramatic
Urgent appeal for donations for Gaza!
The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is becoming increasingly desperate: people are starving and the medical services are collapsing. Rapid aid is vital for those affected. But despite the great need, it cannot be adequately financed at present. HEKS is therefore urgently dependent on further donations.
