Fighting in Sudan has already forced more than 330,000 people to move within the country and more than 100,000 people have left the country. Among the many cross-border movements, there are around 13,000 new arrivals in CAR.

In CAR, from 27 April 2023, these populations will be installed in spontaneous border camps in the locality of Am-Dafock RCA, in the Vakaga prefecture. An initial emergency response by humanitarian actors, including TGH, was deployed in the area. Since then, TGH has developed a two-pronged emergency response:

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

• Access to emergency water: setting up an emergency drinking water distribution site at the Birao asylum seekers' site.
• Access to sustainable water: rehabilitation and maintenance of 15 water points,
• Emergency sanitation: construction of emergency latrines and showers
• Sustainable sanitation: construction of sustainable latrines in the so-called institutional zone at 3 health centres and 2 child-friendly spaces at the Korsi site in Birao.
• Hygiene: construction of 10 dish and clothes washing areas equipped with degreasing tanks and a 100m2 garden created by the NGO Nourrir. The washing areas will be equipped with a sun protection structure made of wild wood, traditional straw and tarpaulins.

Education
Supply and installation of 8 giant tents to accommodate the children on site. Once installed, the tents will be handed over to the NGO Nourrir, a UNHCR partner, to provide access to the first phase of education for more than 3,000 children. School kits will also be distributed.
