South Sudan is a country in a state of humanitarian crisis. Prolonged armed conflict, ethnic and social violence, floods, epidemics and food shortages – those are only some of the many threats to which the country’s inhabitants are exposed.
The region most damaged by flooding and violence is the Jonglei state. This is where PAH directs a large part of its support, which includes ensuring access to safe drinking water, basic necessities, materials for building temporary shelters and educational services.

Having the development and long-term support of food production in mind, we provided agricultural tools as well as vegetable and cereal seeds. We equipped households that depend on fishing with fishing gear. We conducted a campaign to promote hygiene and proper nutrition. Those in need received extensive training in good agricultural practices. We also improved access to educational services and safe water intakes.

As part of the project, we provided basic life-saving non-food aid and shelter building materials to the most vulnerable communities affected by the floods.
We supplied seeds, farm tools and fishing gear. Since a large percentage of internally displaced persons (IDPs) are women, we put special emphasis on ensuring that they also get access to the packages and trainings. We established agricultural schools promoting good farming practices, e.g. appropriate preparation of land for the cultivation of cereals, planting, fighting pests and using irrigation systems. We also organised group trainings on responsible fishing.

The project activities were addressed to internally displaced persons, host communities and people returning to their homes, whom PAH provided with immediate access to water and sanitary facilities. As part of the project, we repaired water intakes, built latrines, additionally ensuring that they are flood-resistant. We distributed menstrual kits among women and girls. Within the framework of the project our Emergency Response Team (ERT) provided immediate humanitarian assistance.
In addition to implementing water and sanitation solutions, we also delivered life-saving non-food items aimed at providing adequate shelter and financial support (Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance, MPCA).

Our activities encompassed the construction and renovation of water and sanitary infrastructure, e.g. drilling new wells or renovating existing water intakes. As part of the project, we also built new latrines, promoted hygiene and distributed hygiene kits, including menstrual kits.
Apart from that, we delivered non-food aid packages to internally displaced persons and refugees returning to South Sudan. We protected those particularly vulnerable to violence on account of gender and age.
We improved the quality of educational services by equipping schools with infrastructure adapted to the needs of all students. We built safe learning spaces with latrines, water intakes and educational materials. We also trained teachers to improve the quality of teaching.
Nachdua sells coffee and tea at the market in Pibor. Since her husband died, the stall is the only source of income for her and her several children. Nachdua spends part of her earnings on the education of her offspring, but this year she could afford to send to school only two of them.
Before we built a new water-drawing system at the market, Nachdua had to fetch water from a well. She admits it was very tiring and time-consuming, so she often had to buy water from sellers and thus was left with less money for other expenditures. Now Nachdua can draw enough clean water to run the stand and store it in secure containers for later use.

An escalation of the internal conflict in August 2022 resulted in a sudden change of power in Afghanistan. The military operations carried out in various parts of the country combined with the withdrawal of international armed forces between April and July 2022, led to mass displacement of people, which entailed the loss of homes and livelihoods. In 2022, the number of internally displaced persons reached 4.4 million. As a result of the rapidly progressing military operations, thousands of people sought shelter in the largest cities. Such a spike in the number of internally displaced people, combined with a sudden change of power and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, foretells more problems with access to basic services, as well as an increase in the prices of essential goods.
Afghanistan is also a disaster-prone country: in recent years, floods, landslides and droughts have severely affected the population in some of its provinces. One such event was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the central region of Afghanistan on 22nd June 2022. Among particularly afflicted areas were the provinces of Paktika and Khost, where according to OCHA figures 770 people were killed and 1,455 injured. In the Gayan District (Paktika Province), close to 1,500 buildings were destroyed or damaged. The earthquake not only deprived many people of their homes, but also exacerbated the demand for healthcare, water, sanitation, and food.

As a result of the earthquake in Indonesia in December 2018, several hundred people died and over 7,000 were injured. At that time, our activities focused on providing assistance and responding to the most urgent needs of the affected inhabitants. The 2022 project was a continuation of aid that was already in progress.
In 2022, as part of our activities we reinforced the local emergency response team through training, simulations, and the installation of appropriate facilities.

Millions of people in Iraq still suffer the tragic effects of the long-year conflict. Many Iraqis still cannot return to their places of residence and remain in IDP camps or in informal clusters.
Since the beginning of our presence in Iraq, we have focused on activities in the water and sanitary sector. We have supported internally displaced persons, Syrian refugees and the local community. We have also strived to provide them with livelihood and legal assistance. In 2022, after the Iraqi authorities announced the end of humanitarian operations and began closing camps for internally displaced persons, we implemented a strategy aimed at motivating the displaced people to return to their former homes. As part of it, we provided them with safe shelters and financial assistance for the renovation of residential buildings. In addition, we became active in the health sector by supporting medical facilities and conducting trainings for their employees. We concentrated our activities in the region of the Sinjar mountain range and in the Qayrawan Sub-District.

Natural disasters, hard economic situation, damaged infrastructure: those are daily challenges for many inhabitants of Yemen. PAH regularly monitors the situation in the country. Based on that, in 2022 we decided to carry out activities in the camps for internally displaced persons in Ma’rib – an area particularly affected by the humanitarian crisis due to the proximity of the front line. We took over the coordination role in 4 camps: Al Arsh, Ereq Al Jalal, Al Akrameh and Almurraf. Given the difficulties in accessing health services, we provided support to two local clinics, and in cooperation with a local partner, we repaired the water and sanitary infrastructure in the Al Arsh camp. Moreover, as part of activities in the education sector, we supported over 2,000 children by building classrooms as well as providing financial and material assistance to students and teachers in 8 classes.
In 2022, we invariably continued our work in the Aden and Al Dhale’e areas, providing comprehensive support for two clinics and one regional hospital. In addition, we carried out immediate actions by erecting over 300 houses for people who lost their homes as a result of a flood in August 2022.

In response to the challenges posed by climate change, PAH’s activities focus on the local community in three counties of south-eastern part of the country – Kitui, Makueni and Machakos. We upgrade the water and sanitary infrastructure in schools, thus preventing children from leaving the education system. By supporting small farmers, we contribute to improving their yields and generating income by agricultural cooperatives in which they are associated.

Lebanon remains the country with the highest number of refugees per capita in the world. According to UNHCR estimates, the country is home to 1.5 million Syrian and 174,000 Palestinian refugees, as well as over 13,000 refugees of other nationalities.
The difficult socio-economic situation, tensions between different communities and high unemployment rate generate persistent conflicts over access to basic goods and services.
Since 2020, we have been running in Lebanon a training centre where both the Lebanese and people of other nationalities can enhance their professional and personal skills. Trainings allows them to increase their competitiveness on the labour market and gain self-confidence. Workshops conducted at the Centre are diverse and deal with, among others, modern computer techniques, graphic design, creating computer games, sewing, business and entrepreneurship or acting. Courses usually last several days. After completion participants receive special certificates.

Droughts plaguing the country since 2019 have brought the southern regions of Madagascar to the brink of a severe humanitarian crisis. These natural disasters, largely caused by climate change, have dramatically affected the lives, health and livelihoods of the population. To make things worse, farmers in the Atsimo-Andrefana and Atsinana regions deal with autumn locust attacks and sandstorms, which could severely impact livelihoods of those who breed cattle in these areas. At least 47% of people living in the southern regions may experience a high degree of malnutrition.
We commenced our activities in Madagascar in the spring of 2022. It is the 8th country in which we are running a permanent aid programme. Our goal is to respond to the most urgent needs of the inhabitants of the southern parts of the country and provide them with access to basic services, including safe and clean water and food. Our activities resulted in commissioning 10 new water intakes, building latrines, launch of the food-for-work initiative, establishment of tree nurseries and provision of meals to children in school canteens.

Lacking access to water has significantly increased the incidence of diseases such as cholera and acute diarrhoea among both the population and livestock. Insufficient access to water and sanitary infrastructure further aggravates the situation. The activities of PAH focus in particular on helping internally displaced people living in overcrowded camps, as well as inhabitants of isolated villages.

In order to meet the most urgent needs of the conflict-affected population, we carried out multi-sectoral activities throughout Ukraine, focusing mainly on the eastern and southern regions of the country. We ensured cash support covering 3-month basic expenses and carried out renovations of water and sanitary infrastructure in centres for internally displaced persons and in social welfare institutions. We also distributed hygiene and food kits in cooperation with major international organisations. We renovated destroyed private homes and provided temporary shelters in the form of modular houses to homeless families.
We established eight territorial aid centres, where we provided psychological and legal assistance. In addition, we set up mobile teams of psychologists who reached out with help to smaller cities and villages.
