POLLET GROUP AND DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent medical humanitarian organization. They provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Their actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality.
In 2018, Médecins sans frontières (Doctors without Borders) launched a pilot project to prevent waterborne diseases by rehabilitating and drilling wells in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe experienced extreme outbreaks of cholera and typhoid affecting 10,000 people. MSF created a long-term solution by rehabilitating 50 water wells and train participants to drill water holes. This approach resulted in a drop from 10,000 cholera cases to just 2 in 5 months. Pollet Group will help to scale up this project to new countries as a philanthropic partner of Médecins Sans Frontières.
