Mission Statement
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was founded in 1971 by a small group of
doctors and journalists who believed that all people should have access to
emergency relief. MSF was one of the first nongovernmental organizations to
provide urgently needed medical assistance and to publicly bear witness to
the plight of the people it helps.
Today, MSF provides medical assistance to populations in distress, to
victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict.
MSF relies on donations from the public for two key reasons: to ensure the
freedom to provide humanitarian assistance whenever and wherever it is
needed, and to remain independent from political, religious and economic
interests.
Your help is as valuable to MSF as that given by our field volunteers -
without it our work would be impossible. Your support demonstrates
solidarity with the people MSF helps:
When someone points a gun at you and asks ' who sent you? 'I can answer
that it was people who care. This can mean the difference between life and
death."MSF logistics specialist Steve Hide.
Thank you for your kind support of our work.
