LINGOs

Medair responds to natural disasters, conflicts that uproot communities, and crises such as drought or disease. Its core competencies are emergency relief–responding rapidly to save lives in a crisis, and rehabilitation–restoring vulnerable communities in the wake of a crisis. Medair’s ability to provide life-saving care is enhanced by flexible multisectoral expertise including health services, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) and shelter and infrastructure.  Medair’s internationally recruited staff members are motivated by their Christian faith to care for people in need, focusing on the men, women and children who live in difficult-to-access regions. Medair's areas of focus are Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, where it currently has seven country programmes, and exceptionally in Haiti, following the January 2010 earthquake.

Headquartered in Ecublens, Switzerland, Dr. Wendy Dyment will serve as Medair’s key contact to LINGOs, implementing LINGOs learning for Medair’s 1,300 global staff. You can reach her at wendy.dyment[at]medair.org. For more information about Medair, please see www.medair.org.
