Afghanistan – Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

Medical aid to victims of the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

COUNTRY / PROBLEM

Afghanistan is a South Asian country with 37 million inhabitants. In 2001, a war began in Afghanistan, initially directed against the Taliban, and then supposed to stabilise the political and social situation of the country. The war in Afghanistan now stands as the longest-lasting armed conflict since the Vietnam War. According to UN estimates from 2018, at least 32 thousand civilians have perished in Afghanistan over the last ten years and 60 thousand have been injured.

ORGANISATION

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, is an international non-governmental organisation established in 1971 by French doctors. Its mission is to provide medical aid to people affected by conflicts, epidemics, and natural disasters. The idea behind the organisation is that everyone has the right to health care and that health care is more important than political divisions or borders. More than 42 thousand people from over 150 countries are currently involved in its activities. MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 for its efforts.

Social awareness programs

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
