DISTRICT PROJECT

The 2024-2025 District Project, chosen by the New York District members, is… Doctors Without Borders!

Founded in 1971 in France by doctors and journalists, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) aims to deliver emergency medical humanitarian aid quickly, effectively, and impartially. Initially, 300 volunteers, including doctors, nurses, and logistics experts, supported the organization. Today, Doctors Without Borders has grown to over 68,000 staff providing more than 16 million medical consultations in over 70 countries each year.
