Dear supporter,
Thank you for your solidarity towards Darfur refugees, the survivors of genocide, who fled their country to live in Chad for over 17 years of which the majority are Women and children of the residents of the camps and are unable to meet their basic needs of living. Lack of social services, for drinking water, and sanitation expose these vulnerable communities to numerous challenges and life-threating situations, including malnutrition and diseases.
The Darfur refugees in Chad camps, depend on ponds for their drinking water during rainy season from July to October. During rainy season, the DWN works diligently to raise fund to provide our volunteers food and tools to clean the filled-up wells which then secures drinking water to refugees.
Now, the refugees are facing challenge of shortage of drinking water. New wells have been buried during rainy season. When rainy season is over, the Darfur refugees will clean up their wells to secure drinking water for the camp.
Since the camp is located in the desert with high temperatures, the water containers which are made from plastic are affected by the heat.
DWN is looking to help in following ways.
-We need to provide elderly, people with disability, and widows with water containers
- We support the refugee’s volunteers to clean up the wells to ensure the availability of drinking water to Darfur refugees in the camp in Chad.
DWN needs your generous support to be able to us to overcome the challenges. The refugees are in need of water for their personal hygiene. We are committed to provide water for consumption and hygiene. Your donation makes drinking water available to the refugees as well as hardworking volunteers. Your donations have helped us to provide safety tools to our volunteers’ team to clean up water drinking wells to ensure that clean water is available for drinking and for personal hygiene to prevent coronavirus.
Please share our link with your network and your friends to create an opportunity to harness the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in our refugees’ camp during this challenging time,
