School Participation

Uncovering stories of hope and courage amidst natural disasters

For MSF Day this year, students can get a glimpse of the destructive power natural disasters possess, through sound recordings and photos from disaster-stricken communities. Earthquakes, wind and floods can cause devastating destruction in moments: collapsing homes, submerging landmasses - even leading to casualties. Urgent medical aid is essential for minimising human suffering; an important part of MSF’s mission to help those affected by these immense tragedies.

There are 4 ways for school to participate and support our work! Come join us and help students grow while being part of life-saving journey.

1. Spend One Lesson to Empower Your Students

We offer free creative materials such as PPTs, short videos, and posters that are not only educational but also include lots of pictures from frontline operations. Students can learn about natural disasters and how medical humanitarian work to save lives and help those affected. Through this, they can gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between humans and nature, and be inspired to take action in their own lives.

2. Creative Ways to Fundraise for MSF's Work to Save Lives

We invite schools to get creative and have fun while making a difference! From May 22nd through July 14th, organise activities such as 'Dress Casual Day' or use your own ideas - all the funds raised will go directly towards providing crucial medical assistance for people affected by natural disasters.

3. Be Our Volunteer to Make an Impact on the World

Looking for a meaningful and creative way to get involved in supporting humanitarian medical activities? Arrange a Mapathon! Secondary students from all backgrounds are encouraged – no experience necessary, just bring your laptop with internet access. Come be part of the incredible impact that MSF is making on global health initiatives, to map the most vulnerable places essential for us to get to patients and crisis-hit communities.  Training will be provided so you can hit the ground mapping right away!

4. Request Speaker and Gain more Insights of MSF

MSF's real-world experience and global exposure can be an enlightening addition to the classroom! Invite a representative from MSF for an in-person talk about how they've met natural disaster challenges head on.
