WHO ARE WE ?
Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups, in Belgium and around the world. We want universal health coverage where each person has access to care, without obstacles (financial, cultural, geographic, etc.).
In Belgium and around the world, our projects are intended for all people who do not have or no longer have access to health care. In particular, they are structured around five axes: people on the margins of society (homeless, undocumented people, drug users, sex workers, etc.); children in vulnerable situations; women (accompanied in their fight for equality or against sexual violence, for example); migrants or displaced persons and victims of crises or conflicts.
To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:
- Care : give people real access to care.
- Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
- Testify : we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.
Our projects follow a series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
CONTEXT
Niger is facing several emergencies that challenge the authorities’ ability to respond. The persistent humanitarian crisis is worsening due in particular to the security crisis. The latter is exacerbated by pre-existing socio-economic vulnerabilities and growing instability in neighboring countries (Mali, Burkina Faso, etc.), leading to an influx of thousands of refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons as well as a deterioration already limited access to basic social services. The population – mainly children and women – faces malnutrition, food insecurity, recurrent epidemics, forced displacement… It is in this context that Médecins du Monde has been working in Niger since 2014 in several regions, including the Agadez region, to provide medical assistance to vulnerable migrant and host populations. MDM is also present in the area of ​​the three borders in Tillabéri (SDSR) and Torodi (VBG), and a new project opened in Tahoua (VBG) at the beginning of this year.
