Hi Friend,

Fifty years ago today, the founders of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) launched a “new type of medicine”—one that promised to put people over profits.

A lot has changed since those first 300 volunteers joined forces in December 1971. MSF has grown over the decades into a global network of 45,000 staff members of 160 nationalities working in more than 70 countries. But our core mission has never changed: providing medical aid in any context, based solely on our independent assessment of people’s needs.

To honor the last 50 years of delivering care and support our work into the future, we're asking supporters like you to chip in and help us raise $50,000 by midnight. Please don't wait, Friend—make a 50th anniversary contribution to help us reach our $50K goal >>

This incredible community has kept us going for five decades, allowing us to remain independent while reaching people in more than 70 countries, helping millions of people around the world. None of this work would have been possible without a legacy of generous donors.

Friend, the generosity of this community helps us uphold our values to provide care that is independent, neutral, and impartial—even in the most hard-to-reach places. Make your first gift today to help us reach our $50,000 goal >>
