The people who fled, refugees and IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), suffer from war-related traumatic memories, basic problems such as food shortage, access to clean water, and electricity blackouts, creating an emergency that local infrastructures aren’t capable to handle.

The work of the staff, together with local authorities, gives a chance to many, by providing for basic needs, and helping the beneficiaries imagine a future without conflicts.
