MSF – (Doctors Without Borders) Operations Centre Belgium (OCB) https://www.msf-azg.be/fr
For more than three years, MSF OCB has been working with several NGOs such as the Red Cross, Médecins du Monde, Plateforme Citoyenne, and SOS Jeunes in the Humanitarian Hub Brussels (HUB). The goal being to meet the basic needs of those who are excluded from the Belgian welfare system: primarily migrants in transit, but also undocumented people and asylum seekers who do not have real access to the services they need.
As a result of Covid-19, MSF OCB expanded its interventions in Belgium by first setting up an Operations Support Team for Belgium and then a Belgium Mission with a new Head of Mission. In addition to its service with partners in the HUB, the Belgium Mission is addressing medical and psychological needs both for residents and staff in Belgium’s over 1000 nursing/retirement/rest homes, expanding Covid-19 support in homeless shelters, and assisting in the country-wide vaccination effort.
Globalement, en 2021, MSF continue de s’investir activement dans les épidémies (Covid-19, Ebola, malaria), de venir en aide aux victimes de guerres, de conflits, de violences sexuelles, fournir des soins médicaux aux femmes (naissances, contraceptions), aux enfants (vaccinations et soins de base), aux patients atteints du HIV et de tuberculose. MSF continuera également d’apporter une aide médicale aux victimes de tortures et aux migrants.
Conseils de notre BLYM trésorier :
Les personnes qui paient des taxes en Belgique peuvent aussi obtenir une réduction des taxes à concurrence de 40% de leurs dons à MSF Belgium. Donc s’ils versent par exemple 100 EUR, ils récupèrent 40 EUR en déduction fiscale. Le don doit être de 40 EUR minimum sur l’année.
D’un autre côté, s’ils versent à BLYM, le montant est doublé / matché.
C’est bon à signaler aux Amis. (L’année passé, exceptionnellement la déduction était de 60% mais je ne sais pas si le gouvernement belge a prolongé cette mesure sur 2021).
People who pay taxes in Belgium can also get a tax reduction up to 40% of their donations to MSF Belgium. So if they pay for example 100 EUR, they get 40 EUR back as a tax deduction. The donation must be at least 40 EUR over the year.
On the other hand, if they pay to BLYM the amount is doubled / matched as Dan Flynn is actively working in Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Belgium.
