About Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V.

The Malteser are an international Catholic aid organization. We help people in need, regardless of their religion, origin, or political beliefs, in Germany and worldwide. In Germany, almost 50,000 Malteser volunteers are committed. With almost 31,000 full-time employees, the Malteser are also one of the major employers in the health and social sector. The close cooperation between full-time and volunteer staff is what distinguishes us. How we help Recognizing need and providing closeness – that is the Malteser idea. Can this be achieved? We answer that by tackling needs. We can do it because we can and because we believe. Witnessing faith and helping the needy: Today, we Malteser fulfill our 950-year-old order mandate in a contemporary way, in line with the needs of people and the societal framework. All our services and facilities are recognized as non-profit: what we earn is reinvested in maintaining or further expanding our help for people in need – ...because closeness counts!
