Four million people in Darfur, mostly women and children, depend on food aid just to survive. Tens of thousands have been killed and two million have been forced from their homes.

The situation is getting worse by the day. Villages are still being destroyed, and peoples' homes and possessions are being looted.

Worse still, the violence and suffering has spilled over into Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). Fighting between rebel groups and their governments is threatening the lives of millions more in an already vulnerable region.

Every month, 10,000 more people are forced to flee their homes. Today one million people live in desperate need, but don't receive any help as aid agencies don’t have enough funding. 

We are one of the largest aid agencies working in the region. With over 25 years experience, our knowledge and understanding makes us well-placed to deliver emergency relief.

We are already helping one million refugees and internally displaced people in Darfur and Chad. We provide critical emergency relief, like feeding centres for malnourished children, water and sanitation, food, health services and environmental protection. We are also working with the United Nations to manage logistics for essential non food items in Darfur, like shelter, blankets and cooking utensils. We manage three large refugee camps in Eastern Chad, and with your help we can we can expand our work in Southern Chad.

We are providing psychological support for those traumatised by the horror they have witnessed and experienced, as well as people who have suffered from gender-based violence. We also run peace-building projects and advocacy to stop this senseless violence in Sudan.  Almost 80 per cent of the children in Chad’s refugee camps are going to schools run by CARE.

But we need more help if we are to stop the suffering.

We, and other leading aid agencies, do not have the money we need to get enough aid to those in desperate need.

In parts of Chad aid agencies are only managing to get less than 1/5 of the amount of water needed to refugees. In Darfur, one million people go without any help.

So we have joined together to raise the money we need to help save millions of people caught in the conflict. With your support CARE can help more desperate people.
