In 2003, Piggy Bank World supported Doctors without Borders, a non-profit
organization whose effort is to deliver emergency aid to victims of armed
conflict, epidemics, and natural and man-made disasters, and also to people
who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation. A
portion of sales between January 1st 2003 through September 30th 2003
was donated to this organization.
Doctors without Borders, also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, is a
private, nonprofit organization at the forefront of emergency health care
as well as care for populations suffering from endemic diseases and neglect.
Doctors without Borders provides primary health care, performs surgery,
rehabilitates hospitals and clinics, runs nutrition and sanitation programs,
trains local medical personnel, and provides mental health care.
Through longer-term programs, Doctors without Borders treats chronic diseases
such as tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness, and AIDS; assists with
the medical and psychological problems of marginalized populations including
street children and ethnic minorities; and brings health care to remote,
isolated areas where resources and training are limited.
Since 2002, our customers have been making a big impact with small change.
