Across the globe, contagious diseases run rampant, wars threaten the lives of thousands, and hunger endangers the futures of millions. Right now, there are over 70 million displaced people in the world, and more refugees than at any other time since World War II. This situation is untenable.
Doctors Without Borders is committed to providing lifesaving medical care to those in need, whether that is saving people threatened by disease, war and hunger to over 70 countries across the world. Doctors Without Borders is currently providing medical humanitarian assistance in Yemen, where over 22 million people have been affected by the current arms conflict. With years of war, Yemen's healthcare system is in a state of collapse. Yemenis risk their lives through land mines, checkpoints, and active shooters to reach a functioning healthcare facility.
No doctor or nurse can succeed without a good home team. Grassroots Campaigns is partnering with Doctors Without Borders to run face to face outreach campaigns to raise funds to ensure that the brave individuals risking their lives abroad have the financial resources they need to purchase medication, build field hospitals, and develop sources of clean water in crisis spots worldwide. We need directors who are ready to roll up their sleeves, lead these projects, and ensure that Doctors Without Borders can do what it does best, save lives.
The situation in Yemen is dire. Join Grassroots Campaigns and don't let another minute go to waste.
