SOS Villages d’Enfants and local authorities in Chad launched a 24-month project on September 23, 2026, in Bol, to help vulnerable families and children in the Lac province.
The project will focus on the departments of Kaya and Fouli, addressing challenges caused by insecurity and forced displacement. Ndjilema Mitterand, Secretary General of the Lac province, represented the government at the launch and encouraged community involvement.
The initiative will provide support to 1,500 children at risk, 1,500 vulnerable households, and 500 children living with temporary foster families. SOS Villages d’Enfants Chad and the national NGO AHDSS will work together to deliver services, including case management, psychosocial support, and economic assistance to families. Project leaders plan to map existing community structures to integrate them into the program or establish new ones where needed.
The project is funded with 1,042,581,158 CFA francs by SOS Villages d’Enfants Norway and will run from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2028.
