Farida and Kalta, originally from Turba village in North Darfur, were forced to flee their homes in 2003 due to conflict and experienced several further displacements in 2024 and 2025. They now live in Sheir Deyoga, where they are working to rebuild their livelihoods.
Before their displacement, they relied mainly on agriculture, cultivating cereals, okra, groundnuts and tobacco. Today, having lost access to their own land, they must rent plots to grow crops. However, agricultural production remains challenging due to difficult climatic conditions, particularly limited rainfall, which significantly affects yields.
Through the DarFood project, implemented by Triangle Génération Humanitaire (TGH), Farida and Kalta received seeds to restart vegetable production. They currently grow onions, giri-giri (a local variety of rocket) and radishes, with the aim of expanding their production and multiplying their own seeds.
The first results are already visible. Farida has sold part of her harvest for around SDG 50,000, which she used to buy meat, sugar, cooking oil and soap for her household. Kalta has also started selling her vegetables while using part of her harvest to feed her family.
Although many challenges remain, including limited access to land, climate-related shocks and a lack of financial resources, Farida and Kalta remain determined to expand their farming activities, increase their vegetable production and sales, and rebuild their livelihoods sustainably.
Through the DarFood project, TGH supports displaced communities in restoring their livelihoods and strengthening their resilience to the prolonged impacts of conflict.
