Humanitarian aid only saves lives when it reaches the people who need it.

That takes more than funding. It takes humanitarian partners, diplomacy and sometimes security at sea.

Since 2008, EU naval Operation ATALANTA has helped secure around 2,500 vessels carrying more than 3.3 million tonnes of food assistance to Somali ports.

The EU not only funds aid. It helps protect the routes that get it there.

Reliable. And that’s the whole point

Soil Matters, a project funded by the European Union, is helping bring that same practice, composting, crop rotation, and working with the land instead of against it, to farmers across Ethiopia.

you don’t need a farm to be part of this. small steps count too.
