Water, food and incomes for refugees and the local population
Help supports refugees and the local population in the west and east of Chad. Help ensures supplies of water by building wells with solar pumps (climate protection) and provides hospitals and health centres with equipment. By building dams across rivers, we create new agricultural land and provide sustainable supplies of food and opportunities to earn an income. We also support fishing, cattle breeding and vocational training for young people. For the local population and refugees, these are further opportunities to earn a livelihood. We involve the local population in our activities to avoid new conflicts with refugees.
Our direct aid in the Lake Chad project region includes:
- Food
- Clothing
- Sleeping mats
- Toiletries and cooking utensils
In this region, Help is one of the few humanitarian organisations supporting those in need outside the refugee camps.
