The Cause

The Sovereign Order of Malta is one of the oldest institutions in Western and Christian civilization.
Subject of international law and a lay religious order of the Catholic Church since 1113, the Sovereign Order of Malta has diplomatic relations with 112 states and the European Union and has permanent observer status at the United Nations. It is neutral, impartial and apolitical.

Today the Order of Malta operates in 120 countries where it provides assistance to people in need through its medical, social and humanitarian activities. In everyday life, its broad spectrum of social projects provides constant help to those who are forgotten or excluded from society. The Order is particularly committed to helping people affected by armed conflicts or natural disasters, providing medical assistance, caring for refugees and distributing medicines and basic survival equipment. Throughout the world, the Order of Malta is dedicated to the protection of human dignity and the assistance of all those who need help, regardless of their origin or religion.

Founded in Jerusalem in the 11th century, the Order of Malta has a long history of caring for the vulnerable and the sick. Its history of over 900 years is reflected in its full name: Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta. Since 1834 the seat of government of the Order of Malta has been in Rome, where it is guaranteed by extraterritoriality.

The proceeds obtained from this sale will be used to support the “Make a WISH - Water for Life” project with the aim of guaranteeing access to water to those who need it in some areas of Serbia, where adequate networks are lacking water, or to support the needs in the leper colony supported by the Sovereign Order of Malta in Egypt.
