Working with one community at a time

Sometimes you might feel powerless to help people suffering in poverty. The problems seem too big. Our perspective: We can’t change the whole world, but together, we can see One Village Transformed.

World Concern’s campaign matches you with the community of Harako, Chad, for three years. With your support, we will work with the community to accomplish specific goals as they begin to see a better future emerge.

The people of Harako, a village in Eastern Chad near the Sudan border, have suffered greatly over the years. The entire community fled their homes during the Darfur crisis, settling in crowded camps. Many families lost loved ones to violence.

This year, the people of Harako began returning, in hopes of restarting their lives. Unfortunately, they're starting over with nothing. Families have no means to plant crops. To reach water, women must walk 30 minutes. Children are sick with preventable illnesses, and there's no healthcare facility.

With you, World Concern will walk alongside families in Harako, helping them build their lives and their community from the ground up. Together, we’ll focus on long-term solutions, so they can stand on their own.

Our priorities over these next three years will include:

1. Improving farming to increase food security
2. Bringing clean water, sanitation and hygiene training
3. Establishing a local economy through microfinance and village savings groups

You will make a powerful and significant investment in the lives of struggling families. We need your support to reach the families of Harako with life-saving assistance.
