In Toronto, Canada, homeopathic practitioner Karolina Dziunikowska helps her patients feel better naturally. As a healer and humanitarian, Karolina Dziunikowska also supports Doctors Without Borders and the group’s international efforts to save lives.
Since the summer of 2016, Doctors Without Borders has ramped up efforts to aid Nigerian people living in the state of Borno. As it stands, more than half a million people have been displaced by violence stemming from conflicts with the terrorist group Boko Haram.
These individuals have lost their homes and now live in government-controlled towns and encampments. For many, outside aid is the only available source of food. This has resulted in malnutrition and related illnesses on a large scale, and local hospitals are over filled.
Doctors Without Borders provides help through a two-pronged attack on malnutrition. Volunteer physicians are working hard to treat patients at new clinics and a nutrition center. Meanwhile, others are bringing in more food and personal care supplies to help prevent further malnutrition in the future.
