In 2019 five convoys will approach about 270 distribution points in Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine. In many cases the route leads to secluded small towns and villages which are difficult to access. Long before the day of departure Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. and local aid agencies jointly decide who needs their help. The beneficiaries are for example socially disadvantaged families and families with a large number of children, children in schools and children‘s homes, young people with a disability, elderly people, those who attend soup kitchens and families from parish communities.
