These victims can be burdened by the consequences of the corona pandemic, but also natural disasters or armed conflicts. That is why Doctors Without Borders allows donors to compose your own Christmas package, also so that they can determine the donation amount themselves. Donors can, for example, donate five euros to provide 7,500 people with clean drinking water for a day, or fifteen euros to give 60 children a vaccination against measles. Doctors Without Borders emphasizes that these are ‘symbolic gifts’, intended to ‘make it clear what we can do with your gift.’
The aid organization has been opting for its Christmas hamper campaign for more than ten years, saying it because it ‘traditionally generates an enormous response’.
