In Abu Dam (North Darfur), after COOPI’s awareness-raising activities, the village chief King Jaffer, made sure that the water supply became a task also for men and not just for women.

Millions of people around the world live in critical conditions: women, men and children who struggle every day to survive wars, droughts, malnutrition and poverty.
Thanks to the Friends of COOPI Suisse, children suffering from malnutrition receive appropriate treatment, local communities have enough water for livestock, men and women harvest their fields and let their flocks graze and children, who live in emergency contexts, can go to school.
In Chad, land and water use are important topics to ensure a peaceful coexistence between shepherds and farmers, between entire communities.
Almost 80% of the Chadian population lives in rural areas and about 40% is supported by livestock, which is the only source of income for some of the most disadvantaged populations and the main way of exploiting the semi-arid areas.
COOPI Suisse works with shepherds and farmers to achieve food security: we supply seeds and tools to farmers, provide them with training, we build veterinary centers and vaccinate animals, help farmers and shepherds to find an agreement for the use of water and of the earth and avoid conflict.
Together we can bring development!
