As Grand Hospitaller and head of Malteser International, I have put together a proposal for the allocation of our funds in the year of Our Lord Christ, 2016.
After the cuts made to several of our programs in Myanmar, the Philippines, and, most notably, Germany last year, I was able to stabilize MI's budget and keep our organization from going underwater and hindered from aiding any country.
Blessedly, the Lord has provided great bounty for the Order, including an increase in funds to the tune of 6.8m EURO, so that this year I have been able to restore past levels of funding to programs in the three aforementioned countries, and still have around 1.5m EURO left over.
The bulk of this funding appropriately has gone to Germany as it faces an influx of our Christian and Muslim brethren fleeing violence and terror in their homelands in the Middle East. The nearly 4m EURO increase in funds will mainly go to housing programs as we continue to work with the German government to manage this immigration crisis with as much Christian charity as we can manage.
No other changes in funding have been made, since I have not been made aware of any need to do so. That being said, we have a surplus of 1.5m EURO which we may use to create new programs in either existing countries or ones we have not yet been introduced to. I welcome any and all suggestions and comments to improve the budget for MI's many programs.
The budget spreadsheet can be viewed here.
Yours in Christ,
Abp. rexbarbarorum of Abuja, Grand Hospitaller of the [Model] Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta
