The result? Refugees in the region are losing access to safety, healthcare, education and more.

This is the human cost of funding cuts.

"Un vendredi après la prière, des hommes armés ont encerclé le village, tirant sur toute personne tentant d'entrer ou de sortir. Voilà ce qui s'est passé."

Fatoumata Mamoudou Barry, déplacée interne à Sokoura (Mali), témoigne :
"Une fois arrivés ici, nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité. Les habitants nous ont chaleureusement accueillis."

Grâce à l'aide reçue (abris, eau, latrines) et à son travail :
✓ Ses enfants vont à l'école
✓ Elle contribue au foyer
"Rester inactive n'est pas une option pour moi."
Son histoire montre l'importance cruciale de la solidarité.

"I lost three of my children. Two were killed between El Geneina and Adré." - Zahra Khamis Ibrahim, Sudanese refugee and social worker
After surviving the dangerous journey from Darfur, Zahra now helps other refugee women in Chad heal through counseling and community support:

"When women come here, they start to talk and write to express all that they kept in their hearts."

Like Zahra, over 800,000 Sudanese refugees have found shelter in Chad - one of the world's most generous host communities.

This , we celebrate their resilience and solidarity.

“I will return and find my country at peace.”
Halimatou Sadia fled violence in CAR. Now, after years in exile, she’s going home—to her husband, her children, and her future.

But her story is just one of millions.
12.7 million people remain displaced across West & Central Africa.
800,000+ refugees from Sudan alone shelter in Chad.

This , we’re reminded:
Solidarity looks like:
Listening to refugee voices
Supporting host communities
Demanding lasting peace

Because refugees don’t need pity—they need opportunity, safety, and welcome.
Stand with returnees like Halimatou. Share her story. Advocate for solutions.
