10 reasons to support Doctors Without Borders in 2025

Providing medical humanitarian aid has never been more urgent.

Attacks on health care continue to disrupt our medical efforts around the world. In response, we are adapting to meet these extraordinary challenges, striving to sustain our lifesaving projects, and delivering critical care to tens of thousands of patients in urgent need.

These are 10 reasons why Doctors Without Borders needs your support today:

You support lifesaving innovations

Your support helps us innovate ways to treat our patients—like dengue-fighting mosquitoes in Honduras.

You help ensure we’re able to respond right away

Over 80 percent of our staff are part of the same communities they serve which means we can respond at a moment’s notice when disaster strikes.

We’re revolutionizing emergency medical care

You make clinical trials and additional treatment possible, including new, safe drug regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

We go where we are needed the most

Constant communication allows us to address and prevent crises quickly—before they ever become headlines.

MSF is unlike any other organization—and we rely on you to keep us that way. Our donors are the backbone of the work we do, and we’re so grateful to our generous global community. We wouldn’t be able to do any of this work without the dedication and generosity of supporters like you.

Not everyone can treat patients in the field. But everyone can do something.

Some humanitarian crises make the headlines—others don’t.

And your donation is 100 percent tax-deductible.
