This programme aims to meet the needs of vulnerable displaced populations in Darfur, particularly in the areas of Bindizi and Um Dukhun, where TGH has been working since 2005 and 2006. This project also aims to increase response capacities in Foro Boranga and Mukjar, areas located nearby, where WASH needs are important and humanitarian actors absent.
TGH, present in these areas for many years, maintains an operational team, essential to ensure quality services in terms of infrastructure, water, hygiene and sanitation, but also access to non-food commodities. Together with local actors, TGH faces any emergency (arrival of new IDPs, natural disaster, etc.) requiring the establishment of a specific device (distribution of non-food items, establishment of additional water points, etc.). Basic non-food items include mosquito nets and soap bars (essential for most vulnerable people such as pregnant women and children under five), and plastic sheeting to provide shelter and protection from difficult weather conditions in Darfur.

TGH will use the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) approach to prepare local communities and authorities to respond adequately to new emergency situations. This approach applies, among others, to access to water, hygiene and sanitation, sectors in which TGH wants to improve local actors’ response capacity, currently fragile.

Capacity building will concern the main actors involved (local branches of the Humanitarian Affairs Commission (HAC), the Department of Water and Sanitation (WES) and Health authorities), providing them with technical, organizational and even financial and material support if necessary.
This programme is conducted in coordination with other NGOs on the ground, and with the UN agencies concerned.
