Doctors Without Borders (also known as M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res) is an international humanitarian-aid non- governmental organization (NGO) best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic diseases.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1971, Doctors Without Borders provides independent, impartial assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation.<\/p>\n

Paul had the role of Watsan (Water and sanitation),\u00a0 where\u00a0 their\u00a0 main functions are to find water, treat water, store water\u2026 and much more.<\/p>\n

Paul came to talk about his work, he explained us some real problems in the world, he told us he worked cleaning water, giving it, making it accessible to people who live in dry places. Then, we went outside, and looked at the procedure of cleaning water.<\/p>\n

Why Paul’s work is so important is because he is in charge of making water safe to drink by eliminating anything that can spread disease. Water purification is part of medical action and, like other preventive activities such as vaccination, clean water can reduce diarrhoea, malaria, chagas, infections and numerous other pathologies, clean water can improve mortality and morbidity. Every year, M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res distributes hundreds of millions of litres of water.<\/p>\n

The activity took place outside.<\/p>\n

The objective was to turn brown dirty water into clear and drinking water, using chemicals.<\/p>\n
