On the seventh day of donating…
The majority of the non-profits I’ve donated to so far have been local. Today, I’m going for a non-profit that provides services around the world: Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
Our medical teams act fast to save people’s lives in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics. We go where we are needed most.

Founded in 1971, MSF provides medical care as an independent, impartial organization. Some of their recent work includes providing services for:
- the Ebola epidemic in West Africa
- conflicts in Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Ukraine
- migrants attempting to reach Europe via the Mediterranean Sea
Goodness knows there’s more than enough conflicts, disasters, and epidemics happening – and they will continue to happen. An organization like MSF provides valuable services to people in dire need.
