Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation working to provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.
Since our founding in 1971, we’ve grown to a global movement delivering humanitarian assistance in over 70 countries. Thanks to our 7 million individual donors, our work remains impartial and independent.

charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people around the world. Since 2006, we've funded more than 186,000 water projects in 29 countries. When complete, these projects will provide clean, safe drinking water for more than 20.3 million people.
703 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, that's one in ten of us. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
The good news: there are simple solutions, from deep drilled wells to water filtration systems. With the help of 2 million+ donors and individual fundraisers, we've raised over $1B for both water and operations, forming a strong force against the water crisis. Join us!
At the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), we coordinate global humanitarian response to save lives, protect people and support communities in crisis.
Guided by the Humanitarian Reset, we work with partners in more than 50 countries to make humanitarian action faster, more focused, more efficient and more locally led. Our teams support emergency response alongside national and local frontline responders, helping ensure that aid reaches people most in need.
More than 250 million people worldwide need humanitarian assistance and protection. For 87 million of them, there is no time to waste.
OCHA brings the humanitarian system together to identify the most critical needs, plan responses and coordinate action. We help make aid predictable, prioritized, principled and efficient.
We negotiate humanitarian access, get aid where it is needed, support relief operations, share vital information and speak up for people affected by conflict, climate disasters, disease outbreaks, hunger, displacement and other crises.
We raise awareness of humanitarian emergencies, including those that rarely make headlines. We advocate for respect for international humanitarian law and call for the protection of civilians, aid workers and the infrastructure and services people rely on to survive.
Accurate data and analysis are at the heart of effective humanitarian action. As the humanitarian system’s information hub, OCHA gathers, analyzes and shares crisis data to guide decisions, coordination, funding and advocacy.
Through our humanitarian funds, we power urgent responses and find new ways to fund aid, from acting before disasters strike to putting more resources directly in the hands of frontline responders.
Our work is vital, but we can’t do it without your support.
Support OCHA’s work and help us reach people in crisis.
