CARE is a leading humanitarian
organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on
working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper
resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire
communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's
community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the
spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand
economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also
delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters,
and helps people rebuild their lives.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian
organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.
Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose
survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe,
primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion
from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent,
impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF reserves the right
to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge
inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for
improved medical treatments and protocols.
On any one day, more than 27,000 committed
individuals representing dozens of nationalities can be found
providing assistance to people caught in crises around the world.
They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators,
epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health
professionals, and others who work together in accordance with MSF's
guiding principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics.

Partners In Health Vision: Whatever it
takes
At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on
solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or
Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our
disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to
lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social
services. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our
own family—or we ourselves—were ill.

Project Medishare
Dr. Barth Green and Dr. Arthur Fournier founded Project Medishare
for Haiti, Inc. in 1994. They assembled the first team of faculty
from the University of Miami Schools of Medicine and Nursing to
assess the health care situation in Haiti and explore ways in which
they could help improve the health conditions of the people in
Haiti. Since that first trip, Project Medishare has forged
partnerships with physicians and allied health professionals with a
strong belief in social justice and that everyone has the right to
quality healthcare.
