Funds broken down by type of activity
according to origin
Funds raised from the general public, legacies and a portion of private corporate funds finance all our activities.
When earmarked for a specific project, funds from corporate and institutional partners are called “dedicated funds” and finance programs defined with the partner.
Volunteering, material donations and in-kind services are essential.
Volunteers make an essential contribution to our work, whether they are medical volunteers, host families, or volunteers at head office or in the regions. We also benefit from material donations (medical equipment in particular), and services in kind, which provide important support for our actions.
