Donors have several ways to give to the relief fund:

Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, Doctors Without Borders administers aid to people affected by wars, famine, pandemics, disasters and other calamities.
Doctors Without Borders is already positioned near Ukraine providing medical kits to refugees seeking asylum.
