In the US:
Since our last project update, we raised $520.00 from donors to our GlobalGiving webpage, after paying GG's fees. Thanks, as always, for your support!
We are excited to announce that the container finally arrived in Adre on March 14th, starting March 18th through 26th, 2024, the DOHS team with the help of volunteers from the community including other tribes (Fur and Zagawa) distributed tarps, sleeping mats, blankets, clothes, and shoes to 30,000 families in Meche and Abutange refugee camps, in Chad on the western side of Adre. Since the war began last April, the residents of both camps fled the genocide in El Geneina with just the clothes they had on and some not even shoes on their feet. Most live in tents, basically material from the UN stretched over a stick frame. We would like to thank everyone who helped us complete this distribution, we couldn't done it without your support. We would also like to give a special shoutout to GlobalGiving for providing $10,000 in grants to help us complete this project. Upon completing this distribution in Adre, the number one concern we heard from the team back home was educational and food support (specifically for the orphans). This is our next goal to accomplish, as always your support is greatly appreciated.
Dear Friend,
You subscribed to email updates from Support for displaced families in West Darfur - GlobalGivin by The Doroti Organization for Humanitarian Services, Incorporated, a project on GlobalGiving. Here's the unedited update from the field:
In Darfur/Chad:
Since our last report, some of the displaced families have been relocated to new refugee camps, however, there are still several displaced people in Adre. We have been working very closely with the team back home and continue to monitor the difficulties our people are currently experiencing. The war in Sudan has also greatly worsened what was already a severe displaced persons crisis in Chad, creating another massive disaster with no end in sight
Recap of the current situation:
On April 15th, 2023, a war broke out in West Darfur, Sudan. Forcing more than 1.9 million people to cross the border to the neighboring countries; Chad, Libya, the Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. The ongoing war in Sudan has resulted in a dire humanitarian crisis, leaving countless killed, wounded, and assaulted. The country urgently needs assistance to address issues such as food insecurity, access to clean water, clothes, shoes, tarpaulins, medical supplies, etc. The ongoing violence against, and food insecurity suffered by civilians in Darfur greatly increased when the current war broke out in April 2023.
We would love you to continue your support and share with families and friends to help us spread the word about our work and grow our community of supporters like you. If you’re willing to share the story of our work with your network, we’d be incredibly grateful. Below is our link to the new project and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments. Thank you again!
