They were five hundred twelve families when I visited them in February. Now they pass from the thousand.
Are Families who fled from their villages located in the north of the country, the strip that suffers the most the scourge of jihadism. The radical, ruthless and murderous Islamist movement, which moves to its wide through the country's semi -desert areas.
Some of the displaced saw their relatives die. They contemplated how their fields were destroyed, razed their crops, burned their homes, stabbed their animals. They saw and suffered even the inexplicable impact of horror.
In the way they could, They reached the Boulkom area, in the southwest of the country. The local head of the territory allowed them to settle in a strip of unemployed land, in the heart of the forest.
Men and women, working together, depopulated under the weeds.

So I found them on my recent visit. We gathered and talk. They told me about their sufferings and needs. Among which the lack of water stood out.
The Boulkom area is dry and women had to invest eight hours a day - from four in the morning to twelve of the day - to perform the round trip to a swamp and return with non -potable water to the village.
Between the darkness of the night and the scorching sun of noon. Loading a twenty -liter drum. And, many of them, carrying a young child who could not be deprived of maternal food.
Fortunately, the rapid intervention of Aigua Per Al Sahel, he managed to mitigate the hardness of that sad reality.
Given the urgency of the situation of the displaced, The request of a drinking water well was quickly attended and currently that well is a beautiful reality.
