about slideAbout OSMTH

On behalf of our members in some 40 nations worldwide, we welcome you to the website of the best known international Templar Order in the world, and the only Templar Order recognized in Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.  

1 Templar Legacy

The medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before.

Water Project

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 is: Clean Water and Sanitation - ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.Water is essential for life itself. In religions and the great philosophies, water is seen as a purifier and symbol of purity. On a daily basis it acts as a catalyst that impacts every aspect of our lives.

However one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and economic development. It is estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world's population will be facing water-based vulnerability. The 2009 report Charting Our Water Future suggests that by 2030 water demand will exceed supply by 50% within many in developing regions of the world.

OSMTH is doing its part in three key ways:

  1. Awareness Raising - through such means as this website, workshops, and word-of-mouth;
  2. Supporting a project by the Pro Terra Sancta Association to provide access to clean water in the Holy Land, through the regular Annual Donations Program of the International Association of OSMTH; and
  3. Through clean water projects supported by donations from OSMTH Member Grand Priories.
