Our Work in 2011 Medair brings life-saving relief and rehabilitation in disasters, conflict areas, and other crises by working alongside the most vulnerable in Africa, Asia, and other areas with extraordinary need.

Emergency Relief

Rehabilitation

When emergencies strike, Medair teams respond rapidly to save lives and reduce the suffering of families in crisis.

After the most urgent emergency needs are met, Medair remains committed to helping communities recover from crisis with dignity and with hope for the future.

In 2011, we responded to cyclones, droughts, landslides, floods, disease outbreaks, acute malnutrition, and mass population displacement.

We work alongside local residents to increase their knowledge and skills and improve the quality of their essential services.

Health and Nutrition We responded to emergencies like disease outbreaks and malnutrition and we supported health clinics and built the capacity of local staff.

In D.R. Congo, we provided free health care to 246,157 internally displaced people and returnees in Orientale Province. Medair also provided training and supervision to almost 700 health workers.

In October, we completed a malaria intervention at 200 health centres that provided free treatment and mosquito nets, and promoted strategies on malaria prevention. “This project has significantly reduced the number of cases of malaria compared to the consultations we 4

had before,” said Dr. Jean-Pierre Atibu at Isiro General Hospital.

We also opened a new health post in Linakofo camp because the road to the nearest health clinic was too dangerous, especially at night.

“The health post has made a very big difference,” said Linakofo’s Modeste Agimirungu. “We could not leave the camp to go to the Dungu May clinic at night, but we go here easily. Two nights ago, a woman went into labour at night and she delivered right there at the health post!”

Sectors of Expertise

Shelter and Infrastructure We provided safe shelter to people in crisis and we worked alongside communities to construct or repair infrastructure and reduce the risks of future disasters.

In Afghanistan’s Bamyan province, we ran an innovative food assistance programme that enabled 6,300 flood-affected people to buy food for their families. While very vulnerable people received direct support, most residents received cash for working to rehabilitate their land and infrastructure. They cleared debris from the fields, repaired roads, and built

hundreds of small dams to stop erosion and to mitigate and prevent future disasters.

“I feel proud that not only have I made money for my family, but that I have protected the country from flooding in the future,” said Zahra, a young mother who wove gabion cages to help reduce erosion.

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) We worked with local residents to provide safe drinking water and sanitary latrines and to promote the benefits of improved hygiene behaviour.

In Haiti’s remote Côtes-de-Fer region, residents have very limited access to water and sanitation, and many people practice open defecation, magnifying the risk of cholera.

In August 2011, our team began facilitating “triggering” meetings to help more than 2,000 people realise that excrement often ends up in the water they drink and the food they eat. This helped motivate people to build their own latrines. By the end of 2011, residents had completed 30 latrines, with many more underway.

“The reaction has been positive in nearly every community,” said Medair’s Dana Brosig. “One advantage of this approach is that it takes the ownership of sanitation away from an outside organisation and puts it in the hands of individuals.”

Consecutive droughts have led to a deadly humanitarian crisis in Somaliland. In September, Medair launched a major emergency response to the crisis and brought an integrated relief programme to vulnerable families in the Sool and Sanaag regions.

“No other foreigners have ever been to this village. We are too far away,” said Sayneb Mohamed. Once a prosperous herder in Gumburu Xangeyo, Sayneb lost all of her livestock in the drought. Her son became so malnourished that he could hardly move.

“He was close to death. Many children died here before Medair arrived.”

In October, we began delivering a therapeutic feeding programme for malnourished children in 12 villages.

“This project has saved the lives of our children,” said Sayneb.

“Before, they were weak and unable to digest what little food 6

100

400 mi

the adults had to eat. The special food that Medair brings is good for the children.”

Throughout the year, Medair provided health and nutrition along with water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for people living in Burao’s displacement camps and host settlements, while also providing relief in rural areas in the south of Togdheer region.

We admitted more than 500 severely malnourished children to the Medairsupported stabilisation centre in Burao. More than 80 percent of the children admitted to the centre recovered.

“The stabilisation centre is an amazing place—you see wonders every week,” said senior nurse Sayneb Husein. “Although things are very difficult in Somaliland at the moment, I am sure that the situation in Burao will get better because of the help we are receiving from Medair.”

Each Drop is Precious “This drought has been the worst of my lifetime,” said 70-year-old Suleman Mohamed Jirde in Jama Qamar village. “In other droughts, we still had a little water, but this time there was no water anywhere.”

In Somaliland, livestock herders have traditionally relied on storing rainfall in communal cisterns called berkads, which are like large swimming pools that can store enough water for 250 people for six months at a time.

“Each drop of water is precious to us,” said Mohamed Mohamed in Kaladhac village. “Our life is based on water availability. The berkads are the reason we are here. If they were not here, we would all move.”

Over time, many of Somaliland’s berkads have developed cracks and become unable to store water. In response, Medair began rehabilitating

A5_Medair Mini AR11_EN.indd 7

berkads and shallow wells in remote communities in 2011, securing reliable sources of water for families and their livestock.

In Jama Qamar, we rehabilitated an enormous berkad with a capacity of 750,000 litres.

In Sibidley village, Medair’s Mark Toews was shocked to see how full a berkad could become after just one rain. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Mark. “The one we had rehabilitated had filled more than halfway after one very large rain. Fifty metres away, there was a broken berkad that didn’t have a drop of water inside. That’s the difference a rehabilitated berkad can make.”

“When the rains came, and the water came into our berkad, we were very happy and excited,” said Mohamed in Kaladhac. “We felt like someone who has lost his precious possessions and then gets them back, or as if we were poor and suddenly became rich.”

Militia violence has displaced 425,000 people in Orientale Province. In remote Ango territory, displaced families received almost no humanitarian aid until this year.

Aid trucks had been unable to access Ango due to the region’s abysmal roads and bridges.

In response, Medair set up a base in 2011 to provide relief and rehabilitation to Ango’s neglected families.

We rehabilitated wells and latrines and reached more than 7,000 people with hygiene promotion. “The number of diarrhoea cases at the clinic was reduced by almost half by the end of the year, thanks to Medair’s hygiene promotion activities,” said nurse Chantal Gopita at Dakwa health centre.

Medair also rebuilt 15 bridges that now allow trucks to reach Ango with humanitarian aid.

“You cannot begin to imagine the impact these bridges will have on our lives,” said labourer Bernard Poly.

We restocked Ango clinics with medicines and provided free health care to more than 37,000 people at six health centres. “The medicine is free at the clinic, which is why we come as we could not afford to pay,” said Jean-Pierre Abakazige. “Before they 8

Meanwhile, in other regions of Orientale Province, we provided free health care for more than 200,000 people. “If it were not for Medair, we would have had many deaths, as sick people would have just stayed home to die,” said nurse Amon Ndaima at Dungu May clinic.

As the longest serving international NGO in West Darfur, Medair worked closely with the Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide free health care services in 2011.

We supported 26 health clinics, vaccinated more than 27,000 children, and conducted 18 emergency responses. “I feel safe because Medair provides us with medicine and clean water,” said Asha Bacheed. “Medair planted hope in my heart to continue life.”

Our water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) team drilled 30 boreholes in isolated villages, supported the construction of more than 2,000 latrines, and reached more than 170,000 people with hygiene promotion.

After 10 years in the Darfur region, Medair decided to close the West Darfur programme in 2012. “Medair was the first organisation to come to West Darfur,” said Abdu Salam of the State MoH. “They improved health care massively but also invested in building the community, teaching people healthy behaviours, and taking on responsibility for their own health and health system. Medair leaves many good things behind.”

In South Kordofan, Medair also provided health and WASH services, but in June, the region became difficult for Medair staff to access due to conflict which erupted before the secession of South Sudan. This contributed to the decision to close the entire Sudan programme in 2012.

Medair spent the latter part of the year handing over activities to line ministries, communities, and other NGOs. “Medair showed they really care about the people,” concluded Abdu Salam.

“They involve communities and treat people with respect. They not only improved health care in West Darfur, they brought us hope.”

was a big help to the community because it was a crisis period, a time of hunger,” said Yang Chankee Mesmin, mayor of Rantabe village.

Emergency responses are only part of what we do in Madagascar. For most of the year, we focus on partnering with communities and helping them become better prepared to face future cyclones.

On 14 February 2011, Cyclone Bingiza slammed into Madagascar. One of our emergency response teams set out on motorbikes to assess the damage in the northeast, while another team flew to the southeast where floodwaters had contaminated wells in many communities.

We quickly distributed 8,000 water, sanitation, and hygiene kits to families. When the flooding subsided, we disinfected more than 600 wells in the region and repaired 10 water pumps.

In the northeast, we hired 7,020 residents to help repair 61 kilometres of damaged road and we provided them with food in return. “This 10

Cyclone Bingiza proved to be a powerful test of our work. “We had received much training and instruction from Medair,” said Jean Chretien, village chief of Ankadibe. “When we heard the first warning on the radio, we implemented our cyclone plan.”

When the storm passed, Ankadibe residents discovered that their safety measures had worked and that none of their livestock had died.

“That was the first time we experienced that in our lifetime of living through cyclones,” said Jean. “We had the feeling of victory and a deep joy. Your gifts have brought light into our minds and into our homes and villages.”

Zimbabwe experienced a deadly cholera outbreak in 2008–2009 that killed more than 4,000 people and highlighted the desperate state of the country’s water supply.

In 2010, a Medair assessment team went to rural Gokwe north and met some women collecting water from a dry riverbed. “We saw barely a puddle of water in the sandy holes, with many flies buzzing around,” said Medair’s Sandra Alefsen.

We found that most of the area’s residents gathered water from similar sources that could easily be contaminated and cause disease. In 2011, we supported the construction and repair

of village water points, providing safe drinking water to almost 27,000 people. We provided the tools and training, while residents supplied the manual labour and some building materials. This process fostered a strong sense of ownership within communities.

“Their wells are very strong as compared to the ones that people do for themselves,” said Dhanisa Dude, a builder in Chakazamba village.

“I have gained knowledge from the work that is being done at our well. I hope that I will be able to pass this knowledge to my fellow builders so that we can improve our communities.”

We also worked in the urban centre of Gokwe town, where inadequate infrastructure meant that urban residents had to gather their water from unsafe sources. We worked closely with the Zimbabwe Water Authority to install infrastructure and rehabilitate Gokwe’s water system.

By the end of the project, the impact we made was far greater than expected in the preliminary proposal targets, with 25,000 people in Gokwe benefiting from the rejuvenated water system.

On 9 July, South Sudan became an independent country, bringing hope to millions who survived years of war.

In 2011, 350,000 returnees came back to their homeland, many of whom had lived more than 20 years in the north. “The scale of the migration is hard to imagine,” reported Medair’s Stella Chetham. “Everywhere we see enormous trucks groaning under the weight of furniture and passengers... new shelters are being hastily constructed from sticks and grass.”

Sudan growing, with many buildings, but it is not,” said Teresa Riak Moyik in Abayok camp.

“In the north, we had our own houses, we were comfortable. But here we will build.”

Medair’s emergency response teams (ERTs) went to work, providing vital relief to help returnees on their journey home. During the year, we provided free health care and nutritional support for those who needed it most, and we improved access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).

Our ERTs responded to many of the country’s major crises in 2011, conducting 35 interventions that provided relief to returnees, as well as those affected by flooding, conflict, and outbreaks of disease.

In 2011, we concluded our long-term health and WASH projects in Melut and Manyo counties in Upper Nile State and started new projects in Renk and Awerial, two of the most neglected counties in South Sudan.

Families arrived to find a land desolate from decades of conflict. “I expected to find South 12

Life is a Gift Ruth Creber, Medair ERT Health Manager, shares an inspiring story that took place during a deadly outbreak of kala-azar in Jiech, South Sudan.

She came in on a stretcher, barely moving.

My heart sank. Whenever someone is on a stretcher, you know it’s bad. Nyapieth had the worst case of pneumonia I had seen in a long time. She also had a high fever, she was malnourished, and she was positive for kalaazar. I really didn’t know if she would make it.

But after three days of treatment, Nyapieth began to show some hopeful signs. She couldn’t sit up on her own but slowly, over the next two weeks, her health improved.

I would lift her up and support her as we walked a little each day. Within a few days, she was walking just holding my hand. She kept wanting to go farther.

She would look at me and say, “Gwalong?” which means “Good?” I affirmed her question,

saying, “Yes! Gwalong, gwalong, gwalong!”

These were precious moments, wandering down the airstrip hand in hand, saying “gwalong” and seeing her smile! From that point on, she turned a corner. She was on the home stretch to a full recovery.

One afternoon, I was walking to the clinic through a wind that blew so hard it almost knocked me over. I had not walked for long when I heard the sound of singing and drumming. Who on earth was out drumming in this weather?

Coming towards me, laughing, singing, and beating her drum with gusto was Nyapieth.

She was surrounded by little kids dancing.

“My God is good!” she sang.

It still brings tears to my eyes to think about it.

She is a miracle, beautifully restored, with the joy of someone who knows her life is a gift.

As Haiti continued to recover from its massive 2010 earthquake, providing shelter for the displaced remained a major priority.

Linante and her 10 children live in Haiti’s isolated, mountainous Côtes-de-Fer region.

They lost their home in the earthquake but after more than a year, they still lived in a oneroom shack with a leaky makeshift roof.

In 2011, Medair came to this remote region and found many residents like Linante still living in chicken huts, shacks, and tents. “Since the earthquake, Medair is the first NGO that came to talk to us about our housing needs,” Linante told us.

Our team met with community leaders to identify the most vulnerable families and then we began working alongside them to build permanent homes with latrines and rainwater harvesting systems. In 2011, we built 100 homes in Côtes-de-Fer and we worked to improve local access to water, sanitation, and hygiene.

The new house has already given Linante’s family renewed hope. “My children are healthier here, so I feel more comfortable, and they are happy here as well,” said Linante. “I feel safer in this house.”

Meanwhile, in and around Jacmel, Medair provided families with 1,333 transitional shelters that can be upgraded into permanent homes, and which are built with design features to help them withstand the impact of hurricanes and earthquakes.

“The area looks so different compared to those months following the earthquake,” said Florance Paul, a Haitian working for Medair.

“You see the Medair houses everywhere you look!”

In April, 18-month-old Fardin, malnourished and suffering from a high fever, was carried to the new Yawan clinic by his father, Danial.

In less than a month, Fardin’s health had dramatically improved.

In 2011, Medair ran water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects in 136 isolated villages in Bamyan and Badakhshan provinces. Community members supplied materials and labour while Medair staff provided training, supervision, and supplies.

“This is the first time anyone has come to help us,” said Kabir, a Bamyan farmer. “My little son has been sick many times from the water.”

Throughout the year, we witnessed the ways that safe drinking water can transform a village. “You have put the joy back in our eyes,” said 85-yearold Sufi Tayeb. “Things have changed so much here. This village is hundreds of years old and now, for the first time, we have clean water. Now no one gets sick because of the water.”

In 2011, we continued providing nutritional support in Raghistan, and we expanded the programme into two new districts as well, treating almost 5,200 malnourished women and children.

“Unbelievable! He has made a lot of improvement,” said Danial with a grateful smile. “My child was about to die, as we live in a remote area without anyone to help us.

But now Medair has helped us and we are so proud to have them here.”

“Medair’s work in Somaliland responds to a severe humanitarian crisis that desperately needs immediate attention. In Somaliland, Medair has taken a courageous decision to go to very remote places where there are no cameras or other NGOs, yet where the people are in great need of help.

It brings hope amidst misery and shows the people of Somaliland what compassion really means.”
