To provide impartial humanitarian action, independent from all political, economic and religious powers
"Doctors Without Borders/Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) is a private international association. The association is made up mainly of doctors and health sector workers and is also open to all other professions which might help in achieving its aims. All of its members agree to honor the following principles:
Médecins Sans Frontières provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict. They do so irrespective of race, religion, creed or political convictions.
Médecins Sans Frontières observes neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal medical ethics and the right to humanitarian assistance and claims full and unhindered freedom in the exercise of its functions.
Members undertake to respect their professional code of ethics and to maintain complete independence from all political, economic, or religious powers.
In emergencies and their aftermath, MSF provides essential health care, rehabilitates and runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgery, battles epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding centers for malnourished children, and offers mental health care. When needed, MSF also constructs wells and dispenses clean drinking water, and provides shelter materials like blankets and plastic sheeting.
Through longer-term programs, MSF treats patients with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, sleeping sickness, and HIV/AIDS, and provides medical and psychological care to marginalized groups such as street children.
[...] MSF is often one of the first humanitarian organizations to arrive at the scene of an emergency. Its large-scale logistical capacity ensures that MSF emergency teams hit the ground with the specialized medical kits and equipment they need to start saving lives immediately."

…The Uganda Public Rescue Foundation (UPRF) is a non-government organization that has its major objectives of fighting for Human rights of Minorities and indigent persons, improving access to justice for all those charged with criminal offences in fulfillment of constitutional requirements fight for children’s, men, Disabled, and women rights that has been infringed and sensitization of masses against HIV/AIDS infection in Uganda. The foundation strives to realize this important goal by offering legal services to poor people, especially those charged with serious and complex criminal offences in the higher courts and the chief magistrate’s courts.
The jurisdiction for UPRF is based on evidence that the majority of people who are held in Uganda’s prisons charged with criminal offences and those in police cells on suspicion of having committed crimes are not only indigent but also ignorant of their rights. Many of those on remand lack knowledge of how to apply for bail. In some instances police investigations are allegedly carried out for unnecessarily and often unconstitutionally long periods. The living condition of many prisoners leaves a lot to be desired. These prisoners are poorly fed and lack uniforms and blankets. They are subjected to have labour and other forms of violation of prisoners’ rights like living in congested cells. To be assured of justice under the above circumstances, the prisoners need legal services. However, available legal services from the private bar are expensive and therefore beyond the means of these poor people.
In setting the agenda for its humanitarian work, UPRF has prepared a logic framework that identifies 8 specific results to be achieved over a period of 3 years.
