Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian
organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict,
epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.
MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
Here are 2 short videos explaining what MSF is and what work it does.

These sites were suggested to us when we first started these events, suggested to us by the charity itself. They are official sites that collect and transfer the money directly to MSF/DWB. Noone involved with this event can handle the money. It goes directly to the charity.
Further, no one involved in this event makes any money out of it. We all give our time and effort for free.
