Caption
The ravages of violent conflict, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and climate change are affecting more than 17 million people across the Lake Chad Basin. Spanning north eastern Nigeria, Cameroon’s Far North, south eastern Niger and western Chad, this is one of Africa’s biggest humanitarian crises.
The Lac region of western Chad is home to some of the region’s poorest communities. Lake Chad, once the source of livelihoods for generations in this part of Africa, has shrunk to one tenth of its original size. Seasonal rainfalls have declined, but the population continues to grow.
Since 2015, the violent conflict originating in Nigeria has spilled across the border, affecting more than 430,000 Chadians and forcing more than 118,000 from their homes – people like Amina*.

“My name is Amina. I lived with my family on an island on the lake, until the insurgents came one night and attacked our village. They burned our home to the ground. I swept up my children and together we ran.”
