A thousand years of service. Grounded in Jordan.
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is one of the oldest institutions in Western civilization — a lay religious order with a presence in over 120 countries. In Jordan, we work through our Embassy since 2003 and our registered NGO since 2022.
Our Mission
Tuitio fidei et obsequium pauperum — the defence of faith, and assistance to the poor and suffering. Neutral, impartial, apolitical.
A Brief History
Founded in 1113 in Jerusalem to care for pilgrims to the Holy Land, the Order expanded through nine centuries of humanitarian, diplomatic, and medical service. Today, with 120 country chapters and a UN Permanent Observer seat, the Order serves communities worldwide — including, since 2003, Jordan.
Governance
Order of Malta Jordan NGO operates under the Jordanian Ministry of Health, national registration No. 420222139. Our Embassy in Amman has been established since 2003 and maintains diplomatic relations with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
