Our volunteer psychotherapists teach lay counsellors to give support to Darfuri refugees living in Chad who have fled the genocide in Darfur. Over 250,000 Darfuris live in squalid camps, traumatised by the violence they witnessed, scared of the Chadian authorities, and frustrated by their inability to return to their homes and their normal lives.
Partnering with the international charity, CORD, the N4A team began giving trauma counselling training to men, women and youths in Farchana and Gaga refugee camps in 2009.
Thousands of men, women and children who have fled the genocide in Darfur continue to re-live their nightmares in refugee camps in Chad. Few receive any counselling or psychological support. Their suffering and grief continues, as they struggle to make sense of what has happened to them.
