Dear Darfur Women Network’s family - Water Project supporters,
Your generous donations have been the only source that secured water containers for Darfur refugees in Chad. Thank you, your strong support makes a difference!
Water containers are still one of the most essential needs, however, the reduction of the food portion that the World Food Program provides to refugees.
As a result, more than 2,500 refugee families- the majority of women and children left the camp in groups of 10 or 15 families, seeking agricultural land and permission for farming. They loaded their important belonging on their donkeys and the people including children walked over 55 KM uncertain of their destination and their fate. They decided to not leave their children to die in the camp from hunger. Please find the video attached depicting the current situation.
DWN is grateful for GlobalGiving’s response to this situation by providing a $ 10,000.00 grant to provide waterproof sheets, personal hygiene items, and food to these families- the average size of a family is 6 persons. We appreciate your passionate lifesaving assistance to the refugees in Chad.
I would like to share with you an exciting news! The Darfur Women Network has been awarded the Best Nonprofit of 2023 by the Indianapolis Award Program.
We're deeply grateful to everyone who has supported DWN. This achievement is the result of a collective effort, compassionate work, and the kindness of an amazing, diverse community all working together towards our goal of assisting refugees in Darfur.
Please, share this link with your network, Water Project - GlobalGiving
Thank you
