About Friends of MSF
The first Friends of MSF group was started up in 2004-05 by a few students looking for ways to get more involved in humanitarian campaigns and to support MSF’s work whilst still at university. Friends of MSF comprises a growing network of student groups throughout the UK and Ireland and is recognized by MSF as its official student support organization.
About Cambridge University Friends of MSF
Cambridge University FoMSF was begun by a handful of medics in 2009.
Our aims are:
- To encourage students to consider working for non-governmental organizations such as MSF in the future.
- To promote awareness of MSF, their work in the field, their campaigns, and issues important to international humanitarianism more generally.
- To raise money for MSF’s general work and their specific campaigns.
Our committee work hard to achieve these aims by organising a variety of informational and fundraising events in and around Cambridge. We also provide a number of resources for students, both online and in the FoMSF library housed in the International Studies Library
